Lebanon’s state news agency has reported that eight people were injured in a drone attack in a border village, as Syria said it responded to artillery fire from Lebanon. Eight Syrian refugees were wounded and transported by the Lebanese Red Cross to hospitals in the north-east area of Hermel, after an “explosives-laden drone blew up” in the village of Hawsh Al Sayyed Ali, near the border with Syria, the National News Agency said. The army sent reinforcements to the area after the sound of gunfire was heard, the agency added.
