In another incident, a Lebanese civilian was injured as a result of a raid carried out by an Israeli drone on the southwest village of Tayr Harfa and was transferred by ambulance to a hospital in the city of Tyre, according to the sources.

Israeli drones and warplanes carried out six raids on Saturday afternoon on five towns and villages in southern Lebanon, and Israeli artillery shelled eight towns and villages in the eastern and western sectors of the border area in southern Lebanon with 30 shells, said the sources.
