An Israeli drone hit a civilian vehicle in the Adloun area in southern Lebanon, killing an entire family, Lebanese media reported on Thursday, amid intensified cross-border escalations between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israel also conducted air raids on the southern towns of Habboush and Arabsalim, while heavy bombardment hit Deir al-Zahrani. No casualties were recorded in those incidents, though extensive material damage was documented. Shelling continued at the time of reporting.

Elsewhere, an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle in Burj al-Shamali, wounding at least one person.

Drone activity was observed over Beirut and its southern suburbs. Lebanese authorities placed the number of Israeli operations since March 2 at more than 8,500, which, according to the Health Ministry, resulted in 3,269 deaths and 9,737 injuries, including women and children.

On the Israeli side, the military ordered evacuations in parts of the coastal city of Tyre, hours after Tel Aviv instructed residents to leave nearly 14% of Lebanese territory, linking the move to imminent air and artillery operations against Hezbollah positions in the area.

Hezbollah, meanwhile, responded to what it described as “repeated Israeli ceasefire violations” with a swarm of drones against Israeli troop concentrations and military positions along the frontier, claiming a “direct hit.”

In a series of statements, the group confirmed the launch of two explosive-laden drones against Israeli forces in the border town of Odaisseh and struck additional troop gatherings near Odaisseh and Zawtar al-Sharqiya with drones. Hezbollah further stated that its operations reached Israeli positions at the al-Ajl hill site and the al-Oweida hill in southern Lebanon. The newly established site in Blat also came under artillery fire.
