An Israeli drone strike wounded six people in Lebanon's Hermel district, an area close to the Syrian border, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry.
A statement issued on Friday said the six wounded included five Syrian nationals, among them two women, and one Lebanese citizen.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that the drone targeted a car. It also noted that the area has largely been spared such strikes since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was agreed in June.
The Israeli military said it had struck "a Syrian terrorist" operating "under the direction of the Iranian regime," accusing the individual of "planning and promoting attacks" against Israeli forces in southern Syria.
Since the overthrow of Syria's longtime leader Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Syria. Israel has also sent troops into the UN-supervised buffer zone that has separated Israeli and Syrian forces on the Golan Heights since 1974, and has repeatedly pushed deeper into Syrian territory, at times detaining residents.
Israel has also continued to strike Lebanon since reaching a ceasefire with Hezbollah in June. It says it will maintain troops in "security zones" along the border in both Syria and Lebanon.
Addressing the UN General Assembly last month, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said: "We reject Israel's efforts to impose a fait accompli. We reject their acts of aggression, which undermine peace and security."
According to al-Sharaa, Israel has carried out "500 airstrikes, more than 1,200 incursions and 300 arrests" in Syria. He also called on Israel to withdraw from Syrian territory and on the international community to commit to the 1974 agreement, the document that created the UN-supervised separation zone between Israeli and Syrian forces.
