A few hours earlier, two Syrian youths had been killed by an Israeli drone bombardment of a motorcycle travelling along a road between the towns of Kfar Tibnit and Khardali, also in southern Lebanon.

ANN indicated that the drone fired a missile at the motorcycle, in which two people were travelling, and shortly afterwards re-fired a second shell as neighbours approached to inspect the vehicle.

The Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah responded to that action by launching “dozens” of rockets at the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona.

The clashes, which are concentrated mainly in the border areas, are the most intense between the parties since the war they waged in the summer of 2006, which is now 18 years old.
