The Lebanese army confirmed the drone attack targeted Nabatieh al-Fawqa, a town in the south that has experienced repeated Israeli military operations in recent weeks. Four individuals sustained injuries in the strike, among them a member of the Lebanese armed forces, according to military officials.
The incident underscores ongoing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border despite a ceasefire agreement aimed at halting hostilities between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah. Nabatieh al-Fawqa has remained a focal point of cross-border activity, with the town facing multiple strikes despite the declared truce.
Neither Israeli nor Lebanese officials have provided detailed statements regarding the circumstances of the attack or its intended target. The strike comes as international efforts continue to stabilize the border region and prevent a broader escalation of conflict between the two neighbouring countries.
