Israeli strikes on Lebanon kill three, wound 23

Israeli airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon killed three people and wounded 23 on Saturday, according to Lebanese health officials. The strikes occurred in the evening, and the health ministry reported the initial casualty figures without providing further details immediately.

The Israeli military claimed it intercepted a drone launched by Hezbollah toward its forces in the security zone and said it was responding with airstrikes. It described the drone flight as a "clear violation" of the agreement, without referring to its own repeated and heavy attacks on Lebanese territory.

The incident adds to the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, which have been heightened since the recent conflict. The Lebanese health ministry's report did not specify the exact locations of the strikes or the identities of the victims.

According to Mehr News Agency, the Israeli military's statement did not acknowledge its own attacks on Lebanon, which have been frequent. The report by Mehr News Agency added that the situation remains volatile, with both sides exchanging fire despite international calls for restraint.
