BEIRUT (AA) – At least two people were killed on Saturday as an Israeli drone targeted a car in southern Lebanon, Lebanese media reported.

An Israeli drone targeted a vehicle near Tyre City on a road between Bazouriye and Borj el-Shamali towns, resulting in two deaths, the Lebanese National News Agency reported.

Another attack targeted a house in the Marwahin area on the border with Israel, the agency added.

Earlier Saturday, Lebanon’s Hezbollah announced in a statement that its members targeted Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of Hunin Castle and Al-Dhahirah site with “appropriate weapons.”

Tensions have escalated along Lebanon’s border with Israel since the Israeli army launched a deadly military offensive on the Gaza Strip following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, amid an exchange of cross-border fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.
