An Israeli drone strike has struck a car near Lebanon’s southern port city of Sidon, killing at least two people and injuring two others, security officials said.

The strike came as tensions across the Middle East grow with the Israel-Hamas war, a drone attack last month that killed three US troops in north-eastern Jordan near the Syrian border and attacks by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels on vessels passing through the Red Sea.
