Lebanese ministry says 1 person killed in Israeli strike on Naqoura
The Lebanese Health Ministry says one person has been killed in an Israeli air strike on the town of Naqoura in the south of the country. An Israeli drone targeted a car travelling on the main road in the border town with two missiles, it said.
Israel has kept up almost daily attacks on Lebanese territory, mostly in the south, and still has soldiers at five posts in Lebanon along the border in violation of a fragile ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Israeli drone, tank fire target UNIFIL patrol in southern Lebanon
The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says that one of its patrols came under a grenade attack from an Israeli drone, as well as tank fire, near Kfar Kila in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli attacks “are in violation of Security Council Resolution 1701 and Lebanon’s sovereignty, and show disregard for safety and security of the peacekeepers implementing Security Council-mandated tasks in southern Lebanon”, UNIFIL said in a statement.
The agency said there were no casualties or damage. UNIFIL has operated in southern Lebanon since 1978 and was significantly reinforced under UN Security Council Resolution 1701 after the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel has repeatedly launched air strikes in Lebanon, claiming it is targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, despite a ceasefire agreement that took effect in November 2024.
Yemen rebels arrest 3 UN staff over Israel spying charges: Report
The Houthis have arrested three local United Nations staff, including two women, accusing them of spying for Israel, a security source from the rebel group told the AFP news agency today.
“Two women working for the World Food Programme [WFP] were taken from their homes on Saturday” in the rebel-held capital Sanaa, the source said, adding that a Yemeni man also working for the WFP was arrested that night.
“Security and intelligence services in Sanaa still have a list of people wanted for collaborating with the Israeli and American enemy,” the source added.
They are the latest in a wave of arrests targeting UN and other NGO workers, with seven other local UN staffers arrested earlier this week on accusations of colluding with Israel.
