SOUTH LEBANON/BEKAA — While all eyes were on the third and final day of Pope Leo XIV's visit to Lebanon today, southern Lebanon did not experience an entirely peaceful night yesterday.

An Israeli quadcopter drone took off at around 1 a.m. on Monday night from an Israeli army position it occupies on Lebanese territory in the Jabal al-Batt area, and targeted a neighborhood in Aitaroun (Bint Jbeil), according to our correspondent in southern Lebanon

Meanwhile, in the Bekaa Valley, Israeli drones flew over the eastern slopes of the Mount Amana and Mount Lebanon mountain ranges on Tuesday morning, according to our correspondent in eastern Lebanon.
