Israeli drone strikes killed at least six people in southern Lebanon and targeted a car just south of Beirut on Wednesday (June 3, 2026), Lebanese security sources said, while Israel said it intercepted a hostile aircraft likely fired by Hezbollah.
Hostilities have continued despite a U.S.-mediated agreement announced on Monday (June 1, 2026) that led Israel to step back from attacking the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut, and the Iran-backed group to halt cross-border strikes.
The Israeli military said the hostile aircraft had crossed into northern Israel from Lebanon.
An Israeli military spokesperson said it was most likely a drone launched by Hezbollah.
