Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad members killed in Israeli drone strike in Syria near Lebanese border
Four people have been killed in an Israeli drone strike on their vehicle on the Syrian-Lebanese border, amid heightened escalation between Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement and the occupation forces.
Lebanese news portal Naharnet cited Syrian media and an official with Hezbollah as saying on Wednesday that the deadly strike targeted the car in Syria near the border with Lebanon.
The Lebanese official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the strike killed one member of the Lebanese resistance group and three members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement.
There was no immediate comment from Syrian officials on the drone attack.
Hezbollah on Tuesday targeted the positions of the Israeli regime in the northern part of the occupied territories, striking several Israeli military sites as well as the Kiryat Shmona settlement, with Israeli media reports saying several people were killed and 30 others injured.
On Sunday, Hezbollah launched a large number of rockets and drones deep into the occupied territories, as part of an “initial response” to the Israeli assassination of senior commander Fuad Shukr in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahieh.
The Lebanese resistance group said it fired more than 320 rockets along with several explosive-laden drones that targeted 11 military bases in the northern Israeli occupied territories.
The Lebanese resistance movement and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by its resistance groups.
Hezbollah has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed 40,534 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza.
Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said they do not want a war with Israel while stressing that they are prepared in case it occurs.
