Israeli drone strike wounds six in Hermel near Syrian border

An Israeli drone attack wounded six people in the Hermel district of Lebanon on Friday, near the Syrian border. The Lebanese health ministry said that the wounded included five Syrian nationals, two of whom are women, and one Lebanese national. [1]

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that the drone targeted a vehicle. The agency noted that the Hermel area has mostly been spared from attacks since an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement was reached in June. [1]

The Israeli military stated that it targeted a Syrian operative who was working under the direction of the Iranian regime. Israeli officials alleged that the targeted individual had planned attacks. [1]

The United States and Israel have been engaged in a broader war with Iran and its allies in the region. Israel has also conducted military operations and an invasion in Lebanon during fighting against Hezbollah. [6][7]
