Israeli drone strike on southern Lebanon wounds 14, ministry says
Fourteen people were injured in an Israeli drone attack in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Health Ministry said Tuesday.
According to an eyewitness, a loud explosion was heard in the market town of Nabatiyeh, where the strike took place.
The Hezbollah-run Al Manar television channel confirmed the strike and said it hit the Al-Deir neighbourhood in upper Nabatiyeh.
Local media said an Israeli drone had hit a “vehicle” in the area.
It was initially unclear who was targeted by the strike.
The Israeli military has not yet commented on the reports.
It comes after the White House announced on Sunday that the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah reached in November had been extended until February 18.
Tensions were once again on the rise at the border between Lebanon and Israel after a deadline expired on Sunday for Israeli troops to withdraw from Lebanon as part of the deal.
