Israeli Drone Strike Kills Two in Lebanon

An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon killed two people, reportedly targeting a car near Baraashit, though it remains unclear if the victims were affiliated with Hezbollah. In response, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported striking two Hezbollah rocket launchers that were prepared to attack Israel, following a warning of incoming projectiles from Lebanon that landed in open areas without causing injuries. Tensions have escalated in the region since the onset of the Gaza war in October 2023, with Hezbollah claiming responsibility for attacks on Israeli targets. Meanwhile, the IDF also successfully intercepted two drones launched from Lebanon, preventing any breach of Israeli airspace. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant civilian casualties, particularly on the Lebanese side, with over 120 deaths reported. The situation continues to evolve as both sides engage in reciprocal military actions.
