2 Hezbollah members killed in Israeli drone strike on S. Lebanon

BEIRUT -- An Israeli drone struck a vehicle in the southern Lebanese village of Kafra near an army site on Sunday, killing at least two Hezbollah members, the Elnashra news website reported.

Several civilians were also wounded in the attack near a checkpoint of the Lebanese army, according to Elnashra.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah said its fighters targeted the Israeli gatherings at the sites of Zarit and al-Dhahira, confirming causing casualties among Israeli troops.

Ambulances rushed to the Israeli raid site to transfer casualties to nearby hospitals while fire brigades participated in putting out the attack-induced fire.

Confrontations on the Lebanon-Israel border continued on Sunday, with Israel's warplanes carrying out air raids on the southern Lebanese villages of Rmeish and Markaba and its heavy artillery targeting another Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab.

The border witnessed increased tension since Oct 8, 2023, after the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets toward Israel in support of the Hamas attack on Israel the previous day, prompting Israel to respond by firing heavy artillery toward southeastern Lebanon.

The confrontations between Hezbollah and Israel have killed 227 on the Lebanese side, including 161 Hezbollah members and 37 civilians, according to Lebanese security sources.
