W460

An Israeli drone on Saturday targeted a motorcycle on a road in the Marjeyoun district town of Majdal Selm, causing two casualties, the National News Agency said.

An Israeli tank meanwhile targeted the border town of Kfarkila with a shell as Israeli interceptor missiles exploded over Mays al-Jabal.

Hezbollah meanwhile announced that it responded to the Majdal Selm attack by launching suicide drones at Israeli forces north of the Yiftah barracks, causing “certain casualties.”

Earlier on Saturday, Hezbollah said it attacked the al-Baghdadi Israeli post with missiles.

Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, has traded regular cross-border fire with Israel since the Palestinian militant group's October 7 attack on southern Israel triggered the war in the Gaza Strip.

Nearly 450 people have been killed in Lebanon in more than seven months of cross-border violence, mostly militants but also more than 80 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

Israel says 14 soldiers and 11 civilians have been killed on its side of the border.

LF head Geagea is presenting is party's preference for a Ducati, while Kataeb Party chief Sami Gemayel wants a Honda to be added to the streets of Lebanon. One time flashy rider and Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil was reportedly overheard asking "what does Hassan ride, these days? Let's all agree on that model."

As to the rider killed in the continuing campaign of Israeli genocide aimed at eliminating the Lebanese race, Berri said it was the United Nations problem to solve. He refused to elaborate when asked how anyone can recognize members of the Lebanese race from any other racial group.
