A Lebanese man has been killed in an Israeli drone strike that targeted a vehicle in southern Lebanon, a continuation of the near-daily Israeli strikes in the region. The Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed the death resulting from the strike in the town of Tayr, without providing further details. According to the Lebanese news agency, the Israeli drone launched an airstrike using three guided missiles, hitting the vehicle at the intersection of the towns of Tayr and Kounin in the Bent Jbeil district.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that they targeted a member of Hezbollah in the area, although no comment has been made by Hezbollah so far. Earlier on the same day, the Lebanese news agency reported that Israeli forces fired two artillery shells towards the outskirts of the town of Markaba. Additionally, an Israeli ground force reportedly entered the towns of Adaisseh and Kafr Kila, detonating several buildings, while conducting sweeps in the vicinity of Al-Labuna forests near the border town of Alama al-Shaab with heavy machine guns.

This ongoing violence and military action reflect a significant escalation in tensions in the region, highlighting the fragile security situation in southern Lebanon and the complex dynamics of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict. The escalating hostilities have drawn concern as they threaten to destabilize the area further and provoke broader retaliations or conflicts involving regional powers.
