Lebanese official media has said an Israeli strike a day earlier killed a man, his son and daughter in the country’s south, while a local priest told AFP they were returning from doing university exams.

The man, a dentist from the border village of Qlayaa, “was killed with his son and daughter when an enemy drone targeted his car on the Nabatieh-Khardali road”, AFP reports, citing Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA).

Father Antonios Farah, a priest for the Qlayaa parish where some people are still holding out despite sweeping Israeli evacuation orders to leave, told AFP that the man had been returning home with his son and daughter, both in their early 20s, after they did university exams.

“The man and his two children went to the university in the morning so they could do their examinations, and on their way back the Israeli drone hit their car,” he said.
