Israeli drone strikes killed at least six people in southern Lebanon and a separate strike hit a car on a busy highway in Khaldeh near Beirut on Wednesday, Lebanese authorities said.

The Israeli military said it intercepted a "hostile aircraft" that had crossed into the north of Israel from Lebanon.

Israel has previously stated it would continue to strike Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut's southern suburbs if the Iran-backed group continued to target the north of Israel, a position that Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday was supported by Washington.
