Israeli gunfire in the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon killed two people, with another person wounded, Lebanon’s Civil Defense announced on Tuesday.
Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that two young men were killed after Israeli forces opened fire on four men who were near a bulldozer clearing a road in the al-Deir neighborhood of Nabatieh al-Fawqa.
Israeli troops fired toward residents on the outskirts of the town of Hadatha in Bint Jbeil district, as they headed to a local cemetery to complete burial procedures under the escort of the Lebanese Army, the agency said, adding that three Merkava tanks and a D9 bulldozer were positioned near the cemetery during the incident.
Separately, an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade on the outskirts of the town of Aita al-Jabal. Another drone reportedly dropped a similar device on an empty vehicle in the eastern neighborhood of the town of Baraachit.
The Israeli military said it had targeted armed individuals detected near its forces operating in the Ali al-Taher area of southern Lebanon. Israeli Channel 14 quoted a military source as saying that the army carried out a strike in the Kfartebnit area to “remove a threat.”
