Five wounded in Israeli drone strike on southern Lebanon
Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said five people were wounded after an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the town of Kfar Dounine in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh governorate.
The strike is the latest in a series of Israeli attacks on the country, despite a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah agreed last November.
Yemen’s Houthis say they struck Israeli military targets
Yahya Saree, the military spokesperson for Yemen’s Houthis, said the group carried out two operations targeting Israeli positions in the Negev region.
He said a hypersonic ballistic missile struck a military target, while three drones were used to hit Israel’s Ramon Airport near the Red Sea city of Eilat, and another military site in the area.
Saree said the attacks “achieved their objective successfully” and pledged to continue operations in support of Gaza until the Israeli “aggression” stops.
Earlier on Thursday, Israel’s military reported a security alert near Ramon Airport after detecting a hostile drone and said the threat was resolved without providing further details.
Israeli authorities said another drone had been intercepted earlier, reportedly launched from Yemen, and air defences also stopped a rocket from Yemen overnight.
The attacks come a day after Israeli forces struck Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and al-Jawf province, killing at least 35 people and wounding more than 100 others.
Death toll from Israeli raids on Yemen rises to 46
Yemen’s Houthi-run Health Ministry said the number of casualties in Israel’s attacks on Wednesday has risen to 46 people killed and 165 wounded.
Israel struck the Yemeni capital Sanaa and the northern province of al-Jawf, the latest in a series of attacks and counterstrikes between Israel and the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, part of a spillover from the war in Gaza.
The attack followed an August 30 strike on Sanaa that killed the prime minister of the Houthi-run government and several ministers, in the first such assault to target senior officials.
