Israeli Drone Attacks Kill Four in Southern Lebanon

At least four people died and several were injured in a series of Israeli drone attacks targeting three vehicles in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh region. The strikes hit the towns of Mifdoun and Choukin.

Initial reports indicate that one vehicle was struck in Mifdoun, followed by a second strike in the same location after residents had gathered at the scene. A third vehicle was subsequently targeted in the nearby town of Choukin. Emergency services, including the Islamic Health Association's Civil Defense, Islamic Message Scouts, and the Lebanese Red Cross, were involved in evacuating the deceased and injured.

These attacks come as Lebanese President Joseph Aoun urged national unity and the strengthening of state institutions. His call for consolidation follows the announcement of a preliminary peace agreement between the United States and Iran, which is expected to extend to a cessation of Israeli hostilities in Lebanon. However, a senior U.S. administration official anonymously stated that the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon is not a condition of the U.S.-Iran memorandum.

Separately, Lebanese health authorities reported that the cumulative toll of the Israeli offensive since March 2nd stands at 3,826 dead and 11,851 injured as of June 16th.
