The protest comes alongside continued regional friction. As FTMQ News reported earlier, an Israeli drone strike recently targeted a vehicle near the Syrian border in the Hermel district of Lebanon, wounding six people. [10]

According to Asharq Al-Awsat and The Times of Israel, the Israeli military claimed that the strike targeted a pro-Iran Syrian operative. News of Bahrain and FTMQ News both noted that five Syrian nationals and one Lebanese citizen were injured in the attack. [2][3][5][10]
