Israeli strikes in south Lebanon kill three: Reports

Two Israeli raids on Sunday killed three people in south Lebanon, official media and a source close to Hezbollah said, as Israel's military claimed attacks targeting the armed group.

Lebanon's Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, has traded regular cross-border fire with Israel since the Palestinian group's 7 October attack on southern Israel.

Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) reported "two martyrs and wounded civilians in the raid that targeted a motorcycle in Aita al-Shaab", a border village.

It said the strike was carried out by an "Israeli drone".

The NNA had earlier said a separate strike by "enemy aircraft" on the border town of Naqura "targeted a motorbike", reporting unspecified casualties.

The Israeli army later said in a statement that "a Hezbollah terrorist was identified exiting a military structure" in the Naqura area, adding that "an aircraft struck and eliminated" the operative.

It also said the army struck "two Hezbollah terrorists who were identified operating" in the Aita al-Shaab area.

Hezbollah announced a fighter had been killed, and a source close to the group said he died in Naqura.
