But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed President Donald Trump in a phone call late Monday that Israel will attack the southern suburbs of Beirut if Hezbollah continues targeting northern Israel, Katz said. <\/p>\n<p>Lebanon\u2019s State-run National News Agency reported Tuesday that an Israeli drone strike hit a car on the road linking the southern town of Marjayoun with the city of Nabatiyeh, killing James Karam, a dentist from the nearby Christian town of Qlayaa, along with his daughter and son. The Lebanese army said two soldiers were lightly wounded when a separate drone targeted them on a road outside the city.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<!-- AP \"Read More\" embed (place mid-article) --><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A drone strike on the village of Jibchit killed two Syrians who worked at a plant nursery, the agency reported, while another on the nearby village of Toul killed two people.

The Israeli military said it wasn\u2019t aware of any Israeli strikes in that area. <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>NNA also reported that an Israeli airstrike on Monday killed six in the southern village of Marwaniyeh.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/topmovingpross.com\/?p=411\">As Congo grapples with Ebola, volunteers cook up meals to support patients and health workers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah said Tuesday its fighters fired anti-tank missiles on Israeli troops who were pushing into the southern village of Hadatha, about 7 kilometers (4 miles) from the Israeli border.
