Lebanon’s state media report two civilians killed in Israeli attack

“Two civilians were killed in an Israeli attack targeting their home in the village of Houla near the border,” the National News Agency reported.

A local official told AFP that those killed were “two brothers, shepherds whose house was destroyed.”

The powerful pro-Iranian group said this morning that it had fired several attack drones at an Israeli military position in the occupied Golan Heights, just hours after Israel attacked its fighters in a remote area of ​​eastern Lebanon, far from the border.

The Israeli military said on Sunday that its fighter jets had attacked a military base of the terrorist organization Hezbollah in the Bekaa region of Lebanon a day earlier in response to Hezbollah firing a missile at one of its drones that was “operating in Lebanese airspace.”

Since Friday, Israel has been shelling several villages in southern Lebanon, killing a woman, a Hezbollah-affiliated paramedic and two of the group’s fighters.

In response, Hezbollah said it launched several attacks on Israeli military targets and shot down an Israeli Hermes 900 drone.

According to an AFP count, at least 451 people have died in Lebanon in nearly eight months of violence on the Israeli-Lebanese border, most of them fighters, but also more than 80 civilians.

On the Israeli side, at least 14 soldiers and eleven civilians were killed, according to the army.
