01 · THE DISPATCH

An IDF drone strike killed two people in the village of Mayfadoun, southern Lebanon, on Tuesday evening, according to Lebanese media. The strike hit a car in a first attack, followed by a second strike after local residents had gathered at the scene — a pattern known as a double-tap strike. The Jerusalem Post reports the attack as an IDF drone operation. This is the second double-tap strike reported in southern Lebanon this week; as The Zioneer reported on Tuesday at 18:21, the Lebanese National News Agency described a similar pattern in strikes near Nabatieh, where four people were killed in separate attacks. The identities and affiliations of those killed in the Mayfadoun strike have not yet been specified. The IDF has not commented on this specific report.
