An Israeli drone strike on a car in the southern coastal border town of Naqoura killed three Hezbollah fighters on Saturday morning, shortly after Hezbollah claimed a suicide drone attack on an Israeli command base in Liman, around seven kilometers from Lebanon's border.

Army Commander General Joseph Aoun on Friday traveled to Italy at an invitation from his Italian counterpart Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the army said.

Caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib on Friday said that Lebanon wants a “complete solution” for the border conflict with Israel.

Hezbollah said Friday it has downed an Israeli drone overnight in southern Lebanon and targeted Friday a military post and a group of Israeli soldiers in northern Israel.

The group said it has downed the drone over the al-Azziyeh valley in the Tyre district, in support of Gaza and its resistance, and targeted the al-Baghdadi post and a group of soldiers in the Ramim barracks in northern Israel.

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has said that U.S. special envoy Amos Hochstein will visit Lebanon soon, amid fears of an all-out war between Lebanon and Israel as tensions escalated between the two archfoes in recent weeks.

Hochstein was last in Beirut in January in a diplomatic effort to prevent a bigger conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

A UNIFIL vehicle lost its way and ended up in the Beirut southern suburb of Hay al-Sellom on Thursday evening, which sparked an altercation with locals and a brief detention of the peacekeepers, media reports said.

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati met Friday with the ambassadors of the five-nation group at the Grand Serail.

Egyptian Ambassador Alaa Moussa, U.S. ambassador Lisa Johnson, French Ambassador Herve Magro, Saudi Ambassador Walid al-Bukhari, and Qatari Ambassador Sheikh Saud bin Abdul Rahman Al-Thani discussed the Lebanese presidential impasse with Mikati.

In the green hills of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights near Lebanon, Arye and Ditza Alon are hiking through a tranquil nature reserve, wondering whether the wider region could become a war zone.

While mediators hope for a truce soon in Gaza to the south, fears are growing that months of cross-border clashes in the north could escalate into a bigger conflict.

Israel killed a Hezbollah fighter in a strike on Syria, close to the Lebanese border, also hitting near Damascus Thursday, a war monitor said, hours after similar attacks.

Hezbollah holds sway over Lebanon's eastern border with Syria, as well as some regions on the other side of the border including Qusayr, the target of Thursday's strike.

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Lebanese Parliament chaired by MP Fadi Alameh has visited the Ain el-Helweh Palestinian refugee camp, accompanied by the Director of UNRWA Affairs in Lebanon, Dorothee Klaus. The Director of the Office of the Lebanese Palestinian Dialogue Committee, Abdel Nasser al-Ayyi, was also in attendance.

"This visit by MPs underscores Lebanon's support for the sustained work of UNRWA and its crucial humanitarian role in delivering essential services to Palestine refugees in Lebanon, and as such contributes to its stability. This comes amidst an unprecedented financial crisis looming over UNRWA due to the freeze of funding of 16 donors nations. Without funding to UNRWA resuming, UNRWA operations across the Middle East, including in Lebanon, will face comprised operations after March," UNRWA said in a statement.
