Al Jazeera correspondents in southern Lebanon are reporting Israeli drone strikes on the towns of al-Majadel and al-Kawthariyah al-Saida.

Hezbollah claims it fired an air-to-air missile to intercept an Israeli Hermes 450 drone over the Iqlim al-Tuffah area.

The group further claims it fired missiles at a concentration of Israeli military vehicles in Jdeidet Mays al-Jabal and targeted an Israeli command centre near Yahmor al-Shaqif, with what it described as a “diving drone”.

The Israeli military has not immediately commented.
