An Israeli drone has targetted and killed two fishermen in Lebanon’s Tyre city, Ali Hashem of Al Jazeera reports.

“This is part of a pattern of strikes that has been taking place in recent weeks here in Tyre and extending towards Beirut’s southern suburb and the Bekaa Valley,” he said.

“Since 2am (12am GMT), we have heard loud artillery shelling, part of the ongoing Israeli ground invasion. It seems overnight the Israelis were able to push towards al-Bayada,” the reporter added.

He added that fierce engagements between Hezbollah fighters and Israelis were taking place. He documented at least two launches of antitank missiles towards Israeli tanks.
