Israel launches deadly strikes, shelling across southern Lebanon
Israeli shelling was reported across southern Lebanon early on Friday, including in Tyre and Nabatieh, state-media reported.
In one strike, an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle on the Abbasiyyeh road in Tyre. It is unclear if there are any reported casualties.
The National News Agency also indicated that Israel launched air strikes and artillery shelling targeting several populated towns in Nabatieh overnight, resulting in a number of people wounded, killed and missing.
"Nabatieh and its surrounding area experienced one of the most difficult nights of the recent aggression, as the enemy escalated its attacks significantly," the agency reported.
