An Israeli drone fired two missiles at a car and a motorcycle on a road in Bint Jbeil, in southern Lebanon on Sunday, killing at least five people, including three children. The Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed the deaths, and also reported two people were wounded.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun slammed the attack, calling it a massacre, and calling for the international community to pressure Israel into complying with the November ceasefire, both in not attacking and in withdrawing ground troops from Lebanon soil.
The vehicles were reportedly near a hospital at the time of attack, which is how a lot of bystanders were hit in the attack. It’s not clear who the people in the vehicles were either, and Israel has yet to comment to offer any pretext of the attack at all.
