Lebanon reports at least 3 killed, over 20 hurt in Israeli strikes following Hezbollah drone attack

Israeli strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon late on Friday killed at least three people and injured 23, the Lebanese health ministry says, without differentiating between combatants and civilians.

The ministry says strikes hit five locations in the southern Tyre and Nabatieh regions and the Bekaa region in the east, following a Hezbollah drone attack on Israeli troops operating in the IDF’s southern Lebanon security zone.

Reporter and activist Andrey Khrzhanovskiy also reports that settlers attacked a convoy of Palestinian vehicles traveling to al-Mughayyir earlier today in order to offer their condolences to the families of two teens shot dead earlier this week by Israeli forces.

The IDF and settlers raided al-Mughayyir on Wednesday after settlers claimed that residents had stolen their livestock. A clash broke out, leading Israeli troops to open fire.

Khrzhanovskiy posts footage from today’s attack, which shows two middle-aged men with their shirts and faces bloodied and their vehicle damaged.

The activist-journalist says the settlers blocked the convoy and then proceeded to hurl rocks at the cars, beat the passengers inside with clubs and pepper-spray........
