DUBAI/BEIRUT (Reuters) - Five people were injured in an Israeli drone strike targeting the southern Lebanese town of Majdal Selm on Wednesday, the Lebanese health ministry said. On Tuesday night, Israeli airstrikes injured 24 people in Nabatieh, a major town in south Lebanon.

Israeli soldiers have killed 22 people and wounded 124 in southern Lebanon, the health ministry says, as the Israeli military remained deployed past a deadline for their withdrawal and Hezbollah's removal from the area. Thousands of residents returned to towns and villages near the border, despite warnings that the region was unsafe.
