The Lebanese News Agency reported that an individual survived a drone attack targeting a car on a side road near the Sham’a Highway in Sidon, southern Lebanon.

The agency revealed that the survivor of the attack belongs to a Palestinian faction.

This incident comes as Hezbollah and Israeli Occupation Forces continue to exchange fire daily since the beginning of the assault on Gaza on October 7.

Tensions have escalated in recent weeks following the assassination of Fuad Shukr, which was soon followed by the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran.

Israeli Occupation assault on Gaza has now entered its 325th consecutive day, targeting various aspects of life in the region by land, sea, and air. The ongoing attacks have resulted in the deaths of 40,405 Palestinians, most of them children and women, and have left 93,468 others injured since the aggression began on October 7.

On October 7, Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, launched Operation Aqsa Typhoon in response to Israeli Occupation violations in the occupied Palestinian territories.

In retaliation, Israeli Occupation launched a military operation against the Gaza Strip, naming it "Operation Iron Swords." The campaign has involved intense airstrikes on various areas in the Strip, leading to hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and widespread destruction of residential buildings, infrastructure, and institutions.
