Seven injured after Israeli drone targets vehicle in southern Lebanon

Seven people have been wounded after an Israeli drone attack targeted a vehicle in the southern Lebanese city of Bint Jbeil, marking a fresh breach of the ceasefire declared in late 2024.

According to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA), the drone fired two guided missiles at a car near Salah Ghandour Hospital in Bint Jbeil, located in Nabatieh Governorate, on Saturday.

The outlet reported that seven individuals were injured, though no information was provided on their conditions.

The incident follows a surge in border tensions, with Israeli forces launching multiple air raids on several southern towns on Thursday.

In recent weeks, the Israeli military has intensified near-daily airstrikes across southern Lebanon, despite the truce agreed upon in November 2024, claiming to target Hezbollah positions and infrastructure.

Hezbollah, in a statement on Thursday, vowed to defend itself against Israeli aggression.

"We reaffirm our legitimate right to defend ourselves against an enemy that imposes war on our country," the statement read.

In October, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun ordered the country's army to "confront any Israeli incursions" into southern Lebanon, following new airstrikes and a deadly Israeli ground aggression.

Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah on November 27, 2024, after suffering heavy losses on the battlefield and failing to achieve its goals despite killing over 4,000 people in Lebanon.

Since then, the Israeli military has kept attacking Lebanon on an almost daily basis and has refused to withdraw its occupation troops from the Arab country.

The Israeli occupation forces remain positioned at five locations inside Lebanese territory and continue to shell parts of southern and eastern Lebanon, and Beirut's southern suburbs.

The Israeli aggression has, since the November ceasefire, killed about 300 people and wounded more than 650, including women and children, according to the Lebanese government data.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem criticized on Friday the US role in Lebanon, slamming Washington as a sponsor of aggression rather than an impartial mediator.
