Five people, including a child, were killed on Friday in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, state-run media said. Lebanon’s National News Agency, NNA, said an Israeli drone struck a house in the town of Aita al-Jabal with two guided missiles, killing two people, including a seven-year-old child.
An earlier Israeli strike on the town of Tayer Harfa killed three people, the Lebanese Health Ministry said. The pro-Iranian Hezbollah movement announced the death of three of its fighters but did not specify where or when. Meanwhile, Lebanese security sources, however, said they died in the strike on Tayer Harfa.
The Israeli army confirmed the strike, saying in a statement: “A terrorist cell that was planning to fire projectiles from the area of Tayer Harfa in southern Lebanon towards Israeli territory was identified by Israeli soldiers and was eliminated.” Furthermore, Hezbollah said that it targeted surveillance equipment in the Meron Air Base in north Israel, in response to Israeli attacks in south Lebanon.
