Israeli Drone Strike Kills Three in Kfar Dajjal, Nabatieh

Israeli Drone Strike in Southern Lebanon Results in Fatalities Despite Ceasefire

An airstrike carried out by Israel on Tuesday claimed the lives of three individuals in southern Lebanon, according to a statement released by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. The incident marks the latest escalation in a series of cross-border attacks that have continued despite the ceasefire declared in November.

The strike occurred in the town of Kfar Dajjal, located in the Nabatieh district, a region that has seen increased military activity in recent months. Officials reported that the attack was executed by an Israeli drone targeting a specific vehicle. The identities of those killed have not yet been disclosed, and investigations into the circumstances of the strike are ongoing.

Tensions between Israel and Lebanon have persisted since the ceasefire agreement intended to reduce hostilities along the southern Lebanese border. Although the truce was aimed at de-escalating violence following prolonged clashes with Hezbollah, intermittent attacks have continued, with both sides accusing each other of violating the terms.

Kfar Dajjal, like several towns in southern Lebanon, has faced repeated threats of aerial surveillance and military action. Tuesday’s incident adds to growing concerns over the durability of the ceasefire and the potential for renewed conflict.

The health ministry’s confirmation of casualties highlights the ongoing risk to civilian areas, particularly in regions that lie near the Lebanese-Israeli border. Calls for restraint have intensified as regional actors urge all parties to return to diplomatic efforts to avoid further bloodshed and instability in an already volatile environment.
