[An Nahar] Israeli strikes have killed two people and sparked wildfires in southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

Hezbollah, a Hamas
 ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
ally, has traded near-daily fire with Israeli forces in the eight months since the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
war began, triggered by the Paleostinian bad boy group's October 7 attack.
The deadly festivities have intensified in recent weeks, causing multiple brush fires on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border and raising fears the conflict could broaden.
Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) said Saturday that "an Israeli drone carried out an air attack with two guided missiles, targeting a cafe in Aitaroun and killing the cafe's owner, Ali Khalil Hamad, 37, and a young man named Mustafa A. Issa."
The agency also reported a "violent mostly peaceful Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
" on the border village of Khiam.
Israel's army said in a statement that "one of its planes struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the Aitaroun region."
The airforce had also targeted bad boy infrastructure in the Khiam and Markaba regions, it added.
Shortly after, Hezbollah said it had launched Katyusha rockets on a town across the border "in response to the Israeli enemy's attacks against southern villages and safe houses, and the targeting of civilians, notably in Aitaroun where two people were killed."
Hezbollah later announced that one of its fighters had been killed by Israeli fire. It identified him as Radwan A. Issa, without providing further details.
