Two Lebanese shepherds were killed in an Israeli strike that hit their house in the town of Hula near the Lebanon-Israel border earlier today, state media reports.
Lebanon’s National News agency says the men were civilians who used to sell sheep milk to neighboring villages.
Lebanese Agriculture Minister Abbas Hajj Hassan says in a statement that a separate Israeli strike this morning damaged his ministry’s office in the town of Bint Jbeil, as well as the city’s commercial market and local government headquarters.
The IDF does not immediately comment on the alleged strikes. Earlier, several large rocket barrages as well as waves of drones launched from Lebanon targeted locations in northern Israel.
