An Israeli drone strike killed five people, including three children, in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil on Sunday.
Axar.az informs, citing NBC news, Lebanon‘s state news agency said the strike hit a motorbike and a vehicle, wounding two others.
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said in a statement that a father and his three children were among the dead, with the mother wounded. He said they held U.S. citizenship.
“While the situation is fluid, so far, indications are that the five killed were not U.S. citizens. In fact, one had an unused immigrant visa petition in the past,” a U.S. State Department spokesperson said.
The Israeli military said it killed a Hezbollah member in the strike but that “several uninvolved civilians were killed”.
“The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and operates to minimize harm as much as possible. The incident is under review,” it said in a statement.
