At least two people were killed in an Israeli drone strike on the southern Lebanese border town of Naqoura on Friday, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said. It was not immediately clear whether they were civilians or Hezbollah fighters. The cross-border conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed militia group has simmered in recent days. Hezbollah and Iran promised to retaliate against Israel after a senior Hezbollah commander was killed in Beirut and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran.
