Palestinian Islamic Jihad says three Syrian fighters killed in Lebanon

Palestinian Islamic Jihad said three of its fighters were killed by an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon.

The three fighters were Syrian and belonged to the Ali al-Aswad Brigade, the group said.

The daily fire along the Lebanon-Israel border escalated on Wednesday.

A Lebanese security source told AFP that in a separate strike, five people, including at least two Hezbollah fighters, were also killed in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah meanwhile said its forces carried out at least 11 attacks against northern Israeli army positions across the border, using drones and "guided missiles"..
