2 killed, 2 injured in Israeli drone attack in Lebanon

Two individual was killed and two others were injured in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon on Thursday (July 17), reports Anadolu Ajansi.

According to the country's Health Ministry, a drone hit a motorcycle in al-Mansouri town of the Tyre district, causing the casualties.

However, there was no immediate comment from the Israeli army.

Cross-border warfare between Israel and the Hezbollah group in Lebanon escalated into a full-scale war last September. Despite a November ceasefire, Israeli forces have carried out near-daily attacks in southern Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah activities.

Since then, Lebanese authorities have reported nearly 3,000 Israeli violations of the truce, including the deaths of at least 236 people and injuries to more than 540.

Under the ceasefire deal, Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon by Jan. 26, but the deadline was extended to Feb. 18 after Tel Aviv refused to comply.

Israel still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
