One person was killed and two others wounded in an Israeli drone strike overnight on the outskirts of al-Jbour in Lebanon’s eastern Beqaa Valley, Lebanese state news agency reports.

Yesterday the IDF said Hezbollah broke the current ceasefire by firing rockets at Israeli troops stationed in the south of the country, as well as launching a drone at Israel.

Hezbollah has also accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. The IDF struck the launcher used in yesterday’s attack within a few minutes, and has separately struck operatives from the targets in southern Lebanon who it said posed an immediate threat to troops.

This appears to be the first such strike since the ceasefire in northern Lebanon.
