Woman killed, people wounded as Israel hits south in response to Hezbollah drones
An Israeli airstrike on a house in the southern town of Arab Salim killed a young woman and wounded several people on Thursday, as Israel launched a wave of airstrikes outside the so-called security zone in response to an alleged Hezbollah drone attack.
The National News Agency said the woman "had been married for 48 hours."
The Israeli strikes also targeted Nabatieh al-Fawqa, Kfar Rumman and the Ali al-Taher heights.
Earlier in the day, the Israeli army said that Hezbollah had launched two explosive drones at its forces in the Ali al-Taher area overnight, causing no casualties.
Israeli “troops fired and downed one of the drones, and contact was lost with the second drone,” the Israeli army said in a statement.
The Israeli army “will not allow ... Hezbollah to operate against (its) forces in the security zone” and “is currently operating and will continue to operate forcefully against its repeated attempts to harm” its forces, it added.
Strikes and shelling had targeted overnight into Thursday Ali al-Taher, al-Mansouri, Mayfadoun, Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh, and Mays al-Jabal while Israeli forces bulldozed, burned and detonated houses in the southern border village of Mays al-Jabal.
