Israel struck an aluminium factory deep in Lebanese territory, state media in Lebanon said, a week after its furthest strike since border skirmishes began last month, AFP reports.

“An enemy (Israeli) drone fired two missiles at an aluminium factory on the road between Toul and Kfour, setting it on fire,” Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said, without specifying whether there were casualties.

But Kfour mayor Khodr Saad told AFP that two wounded civilians were transported to a hospital in the village.

The factory is about 15 kilometres (nine miles) from the Israeli frontier.

Weeks of deadly skirmishes between Israel and armed factions in Lebanon, mainly Hezbollah, have largely been limited to border areas since October 7.

NNA said it was the first strike in the Nabatiyeh region of Lebanon’s south since the 2006 war between Israel and the Hezbollah movement.

It also reported Israeli artillery strikes and air raids against several areas in Lebanon’s south.
