Israeli drones are flying over Beirut’s southern suburbs during the funeral there of Hezbollah military leader Haytham Ali Tabatabai, Lebanese media reports.

Footage shows the drones flying low over the area.

Meanwhile, Israel Defense Forces artillery strikes are reported in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese outlet Al-Akhbar reports that Israel has launched munitions at the area of Yaroun in southern Lebanon, causing fires.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.

Israel has been escalating its strikes on Hezbollah in recent weeks, accusing the terror group of violating the year-old ceasefire and increasingly attempting to rebuild its capabilities, and expressing frustration at lagging Lebanese efforts to disarm the group.
