According to the Lebanese TV channel Al-Miadin, considered the mouthpiece of Hezbollah, an Israeli drone attacked on the afternoon of Saturday, February 10, a car and a motorcycle north of Sidon (Zidon) in Lebanon – tens of kilometers from the border with Israel. Several people were killed and several more were wounded. Other vehicles were damaged.

Arab media still differ in their estimates of the number of victims: according to some sources, three people were killed, according to others, four. The attack was carried out by launching two missiles from a presumably Israeli drone and was carried out 41 kilometers from the Israeli border town of Metula.
Al-Miadin reports that a certain “high-ranking Palestinian” escaped the assassination attempt. Israeli media write that the target of the assassination attempt was one of the leaders of Hamas in Lebanon.
Later, Arab media reported that three Hamas members were killed, but the leader of the local cell of this organization survived.
Tensions have been observed on Israel’s border with Lebanon since the morning, although several sirens sounding in populated areas of the Galilee warning of missile attacks and infiltration of enemy aircraft turned out to be false.
The IDF, meanwhile, continued to attack Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure. In the morning, Israeli warplanes attacked a military building in Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon and an observation post in Markab.
At the same time, intense diplomatic activity was observed in Lebanon. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian arrived there. In Beirut, he met with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who called for an end to the war in the Gaza Strip and the preservation of “peace and stability in the region.”
Before this, Abdollahian met with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Earlier in the morning, three Hamas police chiefs in Rafah – chief investigator Ahmad al-Yaqubi, his deputy Ayman al-Rantisi and Ibrahim Shtata – were killed when the car they were driving in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood of the city was hit.
