Israeli drone bombs car on Lebanon border as missile fired at Galilee
Israel on Tuesday said a guided missile was fired from Lebanon at the northern Israeli region of the Galilee, as an Israeli drone bombed a car near Lebanon’s border, reportedly foiling an attack.
“A guided missile has been fired from Lebanon at the Shtula settlement in the Galilee,” an Israeli army spokesman said.
“The army carried out a drone strike to foil the launching of missiles from Lebanon,” Israeli reports meanwhile said.
Al-Jadeed television said an Israeli airstrike reportedly targeted a car on the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Yaroun. MTV said the strike killed a Hezbollah member and wounded another, drawing the attack on Shtula.
Al-Manar TV had earlier reported that the Misgav Am Israeli post was heavily firing machinegun shots at open Lebanese areas south of Adaisseh after suspecting the presence of hostile elements.
LBCI television for its part said the Lebanese Red Cross and the Lebanese Army, in cooperation with UNIFIL, evacuated a wounded man and the body of another from an area between Kfarshouba and the Bustra Farm.
Hezbollah meanwhile announced Tuesday the death of four more of its fighters in the clashes with the Israeli army that have been ongoing in a limited manner since October 8 -- the day that followed Hamas' surprise attack on Israel and the eruption of a major war on the Gaza Strip.
