Lebanese official media said Israeli strikes on a car and a motorcycle in the country’s south have killed two people, with cross-border clashes intensifying in recent days, AFP reports.

“An enemy drone strike targeted a motorcycle in Naqura,” a coastal town near the Israeli border, Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said, later reporting “one person was killed and another wounded”.

In another attack, “an enemy drone targeted a car” near the southern village of Zrariyeh, “killing one person”, the NNA said, also reporting Israeli strikes in the country’s east.

It did not say whether the dead were civilians or fighters.

Hezbollah said it launched “a squadron of explosive-laden drones” at northern Israeli army positions “in response to the assassination carried out by the Israeli enemy this afternoon in the Zrariyeh area”.

The violence came as Iran’s acting foreign minister Ali Bagheri was visiting Lebanon, where he was expected to meet Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
