Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that an Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon killed three people, including a child.
The ministry said the Thursday night airstrike on the southern village of Kfarjoz also wounded three people.
A source close to Hezbollah told AFP that one of the dead was “a fighter in Hezbollah” and the two others were “civilians."
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the strike “targeted two motorcycles on the Nabatieh-Kfarjoz road," and that a passing car was also hit.
The Lebanon-Israel border has been witnessing daily exchanges for nearly a year as Hezbollah says it’s backing up its ally Hamas in Gaza.
More than 500 people have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon since Oct. 8, most of them fighters with Hezbollah and other armed groups but also more than 100 civilians.
In northern Israel, 23 soldiers and 26 civilians have been killed by strikes from Lebanon.
On Friday, the Israeli military said “approximately 20 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory” around Safed, where the Israeli army Northern Command is based.
“Most were successfully intercepted, the rest fell in open areas,” the army said, adding that no injuries were reported but teams were working to “extinguish the fire that erupted due to a fall in the area."
