An Israeli strike hit a building opposite a Hezbollah fighter’s funeral procession in southern Lebanon without causing casualties, official media reported, according to AFP.

Israel “targeted people who were participating in the funeral procession” of Hezbollah fighter Hassan Srur in the border town of Aita al-Shaab, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.

The strike hit a building less than 40 metres from the procession, causing damage but no casualties, the agency said, adding that “the Israeli enemy was trying to intimidate hundreds” of mourners, who nonetheless continued with the ceremony.
