An Israeli drone has dropped a hand grenade in the main square of Kfar Chouba, a town in southern Lebanon near a school, the country’s National News Agency (NNA) reports.
Footage from the border town shows Israeli soldiers advancing towards the centre, escalating tensions despite the ceasefire with Hezbollah.
NNA also reports that Israeli forces have been setting fire to homes in Odaisseh, another town near the border, continuing a pattern of destruction seen in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Lebanese sources say an explosion has been heard in Yaroun, further raising concerns over Israel’s ongoing violations.
