State media and a Hezbollah source has said one person was wounded in an Israeli drone attack on eastern Lebanon following a flare-up in cross-border fire between Hezbollah and Israel, AFP reports.

It came a day after Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Israeli forces were carrying out “offensive action” across southern Lebanon, as cross-border fire intensified.

“An Israeli drone attack hit a truck carrying fuel” for Hezbollah in the village of Duris, just southwest of the Bekaa Valley city of Baalbek, a Hezbollah source told AFP.

The strike struck the truck driver, said the source, with the official National News Agency (NNA) confirming the report.

An Israeli army statement early Thursday said targets hit in southern Lebanon were in the area of Maroun el-Ras, Markaba and Alma al-Shaab, and included a Hezbollah observation post.
