1 hurt as Israeli drone tries to target car in al-Abbasiyeh amid other violations

An Israeli drone tried to target a car in the southern town of al-Abbasiyeh but the missile failed to explode, media reports said, as the Health Ministry said one person was wounded in the botched strike.

The Israeli army meanwhile announced that a man killed overnight in a drone strike in Yater was the commander of the town’s Hezbollah unit.

During the war, the targeted operative was behind attacks against Israeli forces and settlements and “he has recently attempted to rehabilitate the (Yater) unit, which is a violation of the (ceasefire) agreement,” the Israeli army added.

Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli forces fired an artillery shell at the al-Ain area in the southern border town of Kfarshouba and also fired machine guns at the town’s outskirts, the National News Agency said.

Al-Jadeed television said the shell was fired at shepherds in the area.

Several citizens meanwhile escaped unharmed after Israeli forces opened fire at them near a chicken farm in the southern border town of Blida. A drone meanwhile dropped a stun grenade on the border town of Kfar Kila.

The Israeli army also opened machine gun fire heavily on the Marjayoun plain.

Israeli drones meanwhile overflew the al-Zahrani region at low altitudes.
