At least eight people including a child have been killed in the latest round of Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon.
Lebanese Health Ministry has confirmed on Friday that the victims were killed in Israeli drone strikes across the southern parts of the Arab country.
It said an "Israeli enemy drone strike" had killed two people, including the seven-year-old minor, in Aita al-Jabal, with Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) saying the aircraft had targeted a house in the village with "two guided missiles."
Israeli strikes also claimed the lives of six other people in different locations in the south. Five fighters of the country’s Hezbollah resistance movement were among them.
Hezbollah has identified one of the victims as Mohammad Mahmoud Najm "Karrar", whom the Israeli military referred to as a “significant” member of the movement’s Rocket and Missile Unit in southern Lebanon.
The regime has been conducting near-daily attacks against southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
