An Israeli drone strike on a car in Hermel district (a region of northeastern Lebanon near the Syrian border) wounded six people, five of them Syrians and one Lebanese, Lebanon's health ministry said on Friday. Israel's military said it targeted a Syrian man acting under Iranian direction who it alleged was planning attacks on Israeli forces in southern Syria. The area had largely been spared such strikes since a June ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, and the attack highlights continued Israeli operations in both Lebanon and Syria despite truce arrangements.
