An Israeli drone strike outside the southern Lebanese town of Shaqra on Monday killed two people and wounded three, including a child, Lebanese civil defense said.
This comes as tensions between Israel and armed political group Hezbollah are at an all-time high following a rocket strike in Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday.
Hezbollah had denied any responsibility for the attack in Majdal Shams, but Israel blamed the group for firing a Falaq-1 Iranian rocket.
Twelve teenagers and children were killed in the weekend attack, adding to concerns that Israel and the Iran-backed group could engage in a full-scale war.
Israel’s security cabinet on Sunday authorized the government to respond to the strike.
