Beirut, June 17 (Petra) - Two people were killed Wednesday morning in Israeli artillery shelling of the town of Habboush in the Nabatieh district of South Lebanon, a Lebanese security source said.

It also said Israeli war jets and drones struck the towns of Ansariyeh and Nabatieh al-Fouqa, the locality of al-Zafata al-Mansoura near Kafr Tibnit and Ali al-Taher heights.

It said Israeli warplanes and Apache helicopters constantly overflew the area around Beaufort Castle and carried out mock raids across the Iqlim Al-Tuffah district.

The source added that the districts of Nabatieh, Jezzine and Marjayoun saw one of their worst tense and terrifying nights since the outbreak of the war amid the ongoing Israeli escalation.
