Lebanon says 1 killed in Israeli strike on south

Lebanon says one person was killed today in an Israeli strike in the country’s south, the latest deadly raid despite a ceasefire between Israel and terror group Hezbollah.

An “Israeli enemy drone strike on a vehicle” in Bint Jbeil “killed one person and wounded two others,” Lebanon’s health ministry says in a statement carried by the official National News Agency (NNA), noting the toll was provisional.

Earlier, the ministry reported that a separate Israeli drone strike wounded one person in Shebaa, elsewhere in the south, with the NNA saying that the raid targeted a house.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.

Israel has continued to strike Lebanon despite the November ceasefire with Hezbollah. The agreement required Hezbollah to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli frontier.

The IDF was to withdraw from all of Lebanon, to be replaced by the Lebanese army and international peacekeepers, but has kept troops in five points Israel deems strategic.

Israel reserved the right under the agreement to act against imminent threats by Hezbollah, and has also accused Beirut of not doing enough to disarm the terror group.
