Israeli drones struck three vehicles on the main highway south of Beirut on Wednesday, killing eight people, including a woman and her two children. Israel said it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in several areas in southern Lebanon, hours after telling residents to evacuate.
Two of Wednesday’s drone attacks hit a highway linking Beirut with the port city of Sidon, while a third struck the town of Saadiyat, near a busy freeway. A fourth strike on Sidon’s northern entrance happened in the early afternoon, hitting a car.
