Two civilians and a Hezbollah member were killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon on Saturday, according to authorities, and security sources told AFP that a top Hamas figure had escaped an assassination attempt south of Beirut.

An Israeli drone strike killed one person and wounded nine others in the southern border village of Hula, Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said.

Israeli forces and the Lebanese movement Hezbollah, a Hamas ally, have traded near-daily fire since war broke out on October 7 between Israel and the Palestinian militant group in the Gaza Strip.

A source close to Hezbollah told AFP the person killed in Hula was a member of the group.

Hula mayor Shakib Koteish said the fatality was a civilian killed when his home, facing a local mosque, was hit.

While the Israel-Lebanon violence has been largely contained to the border area, a strike earlier on Saturday hit the coastal town of Jadra, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the closest point in Israel.

The second-farthest deadly attack from the border in four months of hostilities “was a failed attempt to assassinate a senior official in the (Hamas) movement,” Palestinian security said, requesting anonymity for security concerns.

The NNA reported it was an Israeli drone strike.
