A drone carried out three consecutive strikes on an open area in the village of Aitaroun, in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon, Lebanon's state-run news agency reported on Monday.

A drone attributed to Israel targeted Khallet al-Mahafer on the eastern outskirts of Aitaroun, Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper Al-Akhbar also reported.

The previous week, three men, including two Syrian civilians and one Lebanese citizen, were killed in an Israeli strike when a pickup truck was bombed in the south of the country between the villages of Mis al-Jabal and Laida.

The IDF said that one of the men killed in Lebanon was a terrorist in Hezbollah's 'Radwan Force,' and the other was also a Hezbollah terrorist.

In addition, multiple strikes were carried out against military targets in the Hama area in western Syria on Saturday, Hezbollah-affiliated network Al-Manar reported. Al-Manar attributed the strikes to Israel.
