Tensions rose in southern Lebanon on Saturday afternoon after a drone strike targeted the town of Beit-Lif. This comes as the Israeli army strengthens its presence on the border with Syria and Lebanon.
Injuries in Israeli Strike on Beit-Lif
In southern Lebanon, the Israeli strike targeted a “Rapid” type car in the border town of Beit Lif and reportedly left several people wounded.
The attack reportedly took place in the village's main square. Two missiles were fired, injuring at least seven people, according to a report released by the Ministry of Health.
In addition, a citizen narrowly escaped an explosion in the Houra area, near Kfar Kila, where an Israeli drone dropped a sound grenade. A second drone of the same type then launched another grenade in the Houra area, this time between Kfar Kila and Deir Mimas.
Israeli drones also flew at low altitude over the towns of Ankoun, Kfarhatta, and Arab el-Jal, in the Saïda district.
