An explosive drone struck the parking area at Rosh Hanikra, on Israel's northern Mediterranean coast, wounding three people, one of them critically.
The Israeli military responded swiftly. "This is a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreements," an IDF spokesman declared.

Gulf hostilities flared again on Wednesday, with an Iranian missile attack damaging Kuwait's airport and the U.S. military carrying out strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, as diplomacy between Washington and Tehran showed little progress.
Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors met Tuesday at the State Department for a fourth round of direct talks, even as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah continued unabated on the ground.
Benjamin Netanyahu is under criticism at home after U.S. President Donald Trump declared Israel would halt plans to attack Iran ally Hezbollah in Beirut, highlighting pressure the Israeli leader faces ahead of an election polls show him losing.
