In a separate incident, an Israeli drone fired three missiles at a motorcycle near the Dubieh Fortress on the road between the villages of Mays al-Jabal and Chaqra, resulting in one death and two victims with injuries, including a child, according to sources.
Moreover, Israeli drones launched multiple airstrikes on five towns and villages in the border area of southern Lebanon on Monday morning, while Israeli artillery shelled nine towns and villages in the area.
