ISTANBUL (AA) - An Israeli drone targeted a car near the Majdaloun junction in eastern Lebanon despite an ongoing ceasefire, official media reported.
Lebanon’s state news agency NNA reported that the strike hit Majdaloun, located in Lebanon’s eastern Baalbek-Hermel province, a region bordering Syria that has seen repeated security incidents in recent months.
No information was yet available about casualities.
Israeli ceasefire violations have killed and wounded hundreds of Lebanese, while Israel continues to occupy five Lebanese hilltops seized during the latest war, in addition to other areas it has held for decades.
Israel began military operations against Lebanon in October 2023 and escalated them into a full-scale war in September 2024, killing more than 4,000 people and wounding about 17,000 others.
Beyond occupied Lebanese areas, Israel also occupies territory in Syria and Palestine and has rejected withdrawal and the establishment of a Palestinian state.
