An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon has killed five people, including three children. The incident occurred in a residential area and has added to the rising tension along the border.
Local reports confirmed that the strike hit a civilian vehicle in the region. Three of the victims were children, while two adults also lost their lives. Rescue teams rushed to the scene, but all five were declared dead shortly after the attack.
This latest strike comes amid escalating clashes between Israel and groups operating in southern Lebanon. Cross-border exchanges of fire have become more frequent in recent months, raising fears of a wider conflict.
Officials in Lebanon strongly condemned the attack, calling it a violation of international law and human rights. They urged the international community to intervene and help de-escalate the situation.
The Israeli military has not issued a detailed statement on the strike. However, previous operations in the area have targeted militant groups linked to regional tensions.
Residents in southern Lebanon expressed fear over the growing violence. Many families have begun leaving their homes near the border, seeking safety in other towns.
International organizations have called for restraint on both sides to avoid further civilian casualties. Observers warn that repeated incidents like this could destabilize the fragile security situation in the region.
The deaths of three children in the strike have drawn particular outrage, with human rights groups calling for accountability and protection of civilians in conflict zones.
As tensions continue to rise, the border between Israel and Lebanon remains one of the most dangerous flashpoints in the Middle East.
