BEIRUT / ISTANBUL
Several people were injured Wednesday when an Israeli drone struck a car on a road leading to the town of Kafra in the Bint Jbeil district of southern Lebanon, in the latest violation of a ceasefire agreement, Lebanese media said.
The state news agency NNA reported that a drone fired two missiles into the car on the road between the towns of Sidiqine and Kafra, causing the injuries.
Videos circulating online showed ambulances arriving at the scene after the Israeli strike.
Cross-border warfare between the Lebanese group Hezbollah and Israeli forces began in October 2023. It escalated into a full-scale war by September 2024, killing more than 4,000 people and injuring 17,000.
Israel and Lebanon reached a ceasefire in November 2024, but Israel has conducted near-daily attacks in southern Lebanon since then, claiming to target Hezbollah activities.
Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon earlier this year, but it still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
