  "summary": "Israeli strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon have killed at least three people and injured 23, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The strikes, which hit five locations, were a response to a drone attack launched by Hezbollah towards Israeli soldiers. The drone was shot down and no Israeli soldiers were injured.\n\nThe Lebanese Health Ministry reported that the strikes killed three people and injured 23, including women, children, and medics. Two young men were targeted while riding a motorcycle in the city of Nabatieh, and a third person was killed and 15 others were hurt in the village of Rmadiyeh.\n\nThe Israeli military said the strikes were in response to a \"blatant violation\" of the ceasefire agreement and that they would work to prevent Hezbollah from re-establishing itself in the area. According to the Jerusalem Post, Defence Minister Israel Katz said the military had cleared Lebanon's Ali al-Taher ridge of Hezbollah terrorists and that several terrorists were killed in the operation.",
