Israeli forces fire at local officials in southern Lebanon district

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reports from the Hasbaya district in the southern part of the country that Israeli forces opened fire on local officials earlier today.

It said the mayor of a locality in the area “miraculously survived” after being targeted by machinegun fire coming in from Israeli positions while accompanying another local official.

The area is close to the border with Israel. The Israeli army, which continues to carry out assassinations and bombings on Lebanese soil despite a ceasefire reached with Hezbollah last year, has not commented.

NNA also reported earlier today that an Israeli drone flew at low altitudes over several areas in the Nabatieh and Marjayoun districts in southern Lebanon. It said an Israeli helicopter dropped a sound bomb on the town of Ramya in Tyre as well, without any injuries reported.
