At least two people were killed and 22 others wounded in an Israeli strike on the southern Lebanese town of As-Saksakiyah on Saturday, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. The ministry said the injured included three children and a woman.

The attack came amid heightened regional tensions, as the conflict entered its 100th day since the United States and Israel launched strikes on Tehran on February 28.

As tensions continued to spread across the Middle East, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said American forces had shot down two Iranian attack drones threatening international maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
