An Israeli drone strike hit a car Tuesday morning in southern Lebanon, killing three people inside it, security officials in the area said. The strike on Ghandouriyeh, about 10 km from the border with Israel, came a day after a similar attack killed a commander with the militant Hezbollah group.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken—on an urgent mission aimed primarily at preventing the Israel-Hamas conflict from spreading into a regional war—said Monday that Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey would consider participating in post-conflict reconstruction and governance of Gaza, which has been decimated by Israeli bombardment.
