Lebanese school children wounded in Israel's strike on Hezbollah fighter

Three children were wounded in the Israeli drone strike that killed a Hezbollah fighter in southern Lebanon earlier today, AFP is reporting.

According to the news agency, the school children were travelling in a minibus when the strike blew out the wind screen.

The three children were hospitalised with injuries from the shattered glass.

“At first, we didn’t understand what was happening, and there was panic among the children,” bus driver Ahmad Qubaisi, 57, said. “Suddenly, a strike hit the car in front of us” near the town of Nabatiyeh, about 13km (eight miles) from the Israeli border.

“The bus’s windshield shattered… I backed up, and that’s when the second strike hit the car.”
