(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) BEIRUT, April 18 (KUNA) -- Two individuals were killed in a drone attack by Israeli occupation forces on Thursday in the town of Kfarkela in southern Lebanon, according to a report from the official Lebanese National News Agency (NNA).
The report indicated that Israeli forces targeted the town square during the early hours of the morning using two drone-launched missiles, along with artillery shelling and extensive firing from heavy machine guns.
There was intense bombardment reported in the Marjayoun region, specifically targeting Al-Khiam and Kfarkela, carried out by the Israeli occupation forces employing military aircraft, drones, heavy artillery, and phosphorus munitions. Al-Khiyam experienced six airstrikes and was hit with over 100 artillery and phosphorus shells.
Artillery shelling also targeted the areas of Dermimas, the Litani River, Tallet Al-Aziyah, Tallet Al-Awaidah, and the Marjayoun Plain, during an extensive drone flight over the region.
The NNA also reported that Lebanese Resistance fighters targeted Israeli occupation forces in Al-Malikiyah and Al-Matula, resulting in casualties among the troops.
