Five killed in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon
At least five people, including a child, were killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon on Friday.
A report by Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) said an Israeli drone struck a house in the town of Aita al-Jabal with two guided missiles and killed two people, including a seven-year-old child.
An earlier Israeli strike on the town of Tayer Harfa killed three people.
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 also confirmed the strike 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,” the statement added.
