Breaking: Israeli drone strike kills six near Lebanon-Syria border

An Israeli drone strike in Janata, near Lebanon’s eastern border with Syria, resulted in the death of six people and left two others injured on Saturday, according to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency.

The Israeli military confirmed the attack, stating that it targeted Hezbollah operatives who were operating within a strategic weapons manufacturing and storage facility belonging to the group.

Since the ceasefire agreement was implemented in late November, marking the end of the most recent Israel-Hezbollah conflict, Israel has continued near-daily airstrikes on sites it claims are Hezbollah-linked throughout Lebanon.

The ceasefire terms allow both Israel and Lebanon to engage in self-defense actions, though the agreement does not clearly define what constitutes self-defense.

While the initial 60-day period for the ceasefire’s implementation concluded in late January, both sides agreed to extend the deadline until February 18.
