Israeli drone strike injures 10 in southern Lebanon
BEIRUT (AA) – At least 10 people were injured in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon, the Health Ministry said, as fears continued to grow of a full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Three of the injured were in serious condition following the attack that targeted the town of Abbasiyyeh in Tyre city, the ministry added in a statement.
Israeli airstrikes were also reported in the border town of Aita ash-Shaab.
No information was yet available about injuries or damage.
Hezbollah said that its fighters had struck with missiles Israeli military posts in the occupied Shebaa Farms and northern Israel, resulting in direct hits.
According to Lebanese health authorities, at least 547 people have been killed and 1,765 others injured in Israeli attacks since October 8, 2023.
Fears have grown about a full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah amid a months-long exchange of cross-border fire, especially with Hezbollah threatening military retaliation after the assassination of its top commander Fouad Shukr in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on July 30.
The escalation comes against the backdrop of the ongoing Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip, which has killed nearly 40,000 people, most of them children, minors and women.
