Israeli drone attack in southern Lebanon kills three: Ministry
Three people were killed in an Israeli drone attack on a vehicle in southern Lebanon, the country’s Health Ministry has said.
The ministry in a statement said an “Israeli enemy” drone attack on a vehicle in the southern town of Meiss el-Jabal killed “a Lebanese and two Syrians”.
Despite a ceasefire agreed in late November between Hezbollah and Israel, the Lebanese government said earlier this month that 190 people have been killed and 485 injured in Lebanon by Israeli attacks since the ceasefire took effect.

On March 15, nearly two months into his second term, US President Donald Trump launched Operation Rough Rider, a campaign of air strikes ostensibly targeting Houthi positions in Yemen, which has since killed nearly 300 people.
The US military said its forces “have hit over 1,000 targets” in Yemen since mid-March, “killing Houthi fighters and leaders, including senior Houthi missile and UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] officials, and degrading their capabilities” with no mention of civilian deaths.
On April 18, a US strike on Yemen’s Ras Isa fuel port killed at least 80 people and wounded 150 in one of the deadliest attacks on the country by US forces.
Ten days later, US forces struck a migrant detention centre in Saada, reportedly killing at least 68 people. The centre had been housing about 115 people, mainly from African nations, who had been detained trying to cross into Saudi Arabia to find work.
