Israel drone strikes deep into Lebanese territory: official media
An Israeli drone has struck a vehicle deep in Lebanese territory, official media in Lebanon has said, AFP reports.
Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) said “an enemy drone targeted a pick-up truck” on a farmland in the Zahrani area on Lebanon’s coast, some 45 kilometres (28 miles) from the Israeli border, without reporting any casualties.
The strike came hours before Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was due to make a televised address at 3pm (1pm GMT). Lebanese army prevented journalists from approaching the area, which is near the Zahrani power plant, one of Lebanon’s ailing energy facilities.
The NNA reported Israeli attacks on areas near the border on Saturday, while an AFP correspondent in northern Israel reported apparent incoming rocket fire after air raid sirens sounded.
