Three people, including two journalists, have been killed in a rocket strike in Lebanon, the Lebanese state news agency has reported.
The incident took place near the town of Tir Harfa – about a mile from the country’s border with Israel, it added.
It did not provide any further details.
News organisation Al Mayadeen named the journalists as their correspondent Farah Omar and their cameraman Rabih Me’mari.
It said Israel “deliberately targeted” them after they finished a live broadcast from south Lebanon
The Israeli military has not commented on the strike.
Earlier today, the Israel Defence Forces said it was striking “three armed terrorist cells” along the Lebanese border after claiming mortar shells were fired at one of its military posts.
It said it had also used fighter jets to hit a number of “terror targets”.
Fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah regularly takes place across the border, but clashes have increased since Hamas’s 7 October attacks.
