BEIRUT, Lebanon - An Israeli drone fired missiles into a convoy of refugees fleeing fighting in the southern town of Marjayoun, killing or wounding up to 15 people, witnesses and security officials said.

Al-Jazeera television reported that the Lebanese Interior Minister Ahmed Fatfat said three people were killed and seven wounded.

The convoy, made up of more than 100 civilian vehicles in addition to vehicles carrying Lebanese soldiers and police from the area around Marjayoun, was hit near Chtaura in the Bekaa Valley.

Marjayoun was taken by Israeli soldiers Thursday, and intense bombing and artillery fire has been reported in the region.
