Three killed in Israeli strike on southern Lebanon An Israeli strike on a car in Mefdoun, in Lebanon's Nabatieh district, has killed three people and wounded another, according to the Lebanese health ministry. The attack comes as Iran, Hezbollah's main backer, has warned Israel to halt its attacks on Lebanon, threatening a response if they continue. Israel is also facing growing international pressure to withdraw its troops from the parts of southern Lebanon they continue to occupy, a key demand raised by Tehran during negotiations with Washington.
