Israeli strike on al-Abbasiyeh wounds 17 as Hezbollah attacks Israeli posts

Seventeen people were wounded, four of them critically, when an Israeli airstrike targeted the intersection of the southern town of al-Abbasiyeh near Tyre on Wednesday, the Health Ministry said.

Another strike meanwhile targeted a house in the southern border town of Rab Tlatine.

Hezbollah for its part said it launched suicide drones at a gathering of Israeli troops in the Abirim area in northern Israel in response to the drone assassination of two of its members in Baraashit on Tuesday.

It also said that it attacked Israeli posts in Metula, Shtula and al-Baghdadi as well as two other posts in the occupied Shebaa Farms and Kfarshouba Hills.
