BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Nine people, including two children, were injured on Tuesday in an Israeli drone attack targeting a motorcycle in southern Lebanon, according to official Lebanese sources.
The official National News Agency reported that a "hostile" Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle on the Mansouri-Majdal Zoun road in the Tyre District, whereas the Public Health Emergency Operations Center, affiliated with the Health Ministry, said three of the injured are in critical condition.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Tuesday in a statement that it killed the commander of Hezbollah's Mansouri complex in a drone attack in southern Lebanon.
The IDF did not mention the commander's name but said he planned "numerous" attacks against Israel, facilitated the transfer of weapons, and was responsible for attempts to reestablish the complex.
Despite an ongoing ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel, which has been in place since Nov. 27, 2024 and brought an end to more than a year of clashes linked to the war in Gaza, the Israeli military continues to carry out strikes in Lebanon, claiming they are aimed at eliminating "threats" posed by Hezbollah. ■
