Two people were reportedly killed and three wounded in an Israeli drone strike in Southern Lebanon, between the towns of Mays al-Jabal and Shaqra, Reuters reported Morning. The Lebanese Civil Defense did not say if the dead were terrorists or civilians.

The IDF did not immediately confirm the report, which would be the first deadly Israeli strike in Lebanon since the fatal Majdal Shams massacre.

Hezbollah said in separate announcements on Monday afternoon that two of its members were killed in the alleged IDF drone strike.

Earlier on Monday morning, the IDF said that its aerial defense array had intercepted a UAV that crossed from Lebanon into the Western Galilee. The threat triggered sirens in the areas of Kibbutz Adamit and Moshav Ya’ara and rocket and missile sirens were sounded due to the risk of falling shrapnel.

No casualties were reported.

Cross-border attacks continued on Monday afternoon, with a barrage of enemy rockets striking open areas near the Gomeh Junction, just south of Kiryat Shmona, according to the IDF. No injuries were reported in this incident.

Drone alert sirens sounded in several communities near the border with Lebanon on Monday afternoon.

On Sunday night, Israel’s Security Cabinet authorized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to retaliate against Hezbollah for Saturday’s deadly strike on Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights.

During a four-hour meeting at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, lawmakers gave Netanyahu and Gallant the green light “to decide on the manner and timing of the response” against Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy.

Twelve children were killed and more than 40 people were wounded by the Hezbollah missile strike on the northern Druze town, marking the Iranian proxy’s deadliest attack on Israel since Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre.
