Lebanon’s public university has said that it was postponing some examinations after two students and their father were killed while returning to south Lebanon after sitting exams a day earlier, AFP reports.

The state-run National News Agency (NNA) said a dentist from the border village of Qlayaa “was killed with his son and daughter when an enemy drone targeted his car on the Nabatieh-Khardali road”.

The Lebanese University, in a statement on X, mourned the loss of the two students “in an Israeli attack targeting civilians on the Khardali road”.

The institution, “which has lost a large number of its students, lecturers and employees during the Israeli aggression, affirms that the safety of the university community remains the highest priority”.

It said it would postpone exams on its main campus in Beirut’s southern suburbs, and in the southern city of Sidon, until next week “in the face of the current developments”.
