Lebanon said Israeli strikes in the country’s south killed two people on Tuesday, the latest deadly raids despite a nearly year-long ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
An “Israeli enemy drone strike on a car in the city of Bint Jbeil killed one person”, the health ministry said in a statement, while the state-run National News Agency said the raid killed an employee of the Bint Jbeil municipalities union.
The health ministry later said an Israeli drone strike on a car killed one person in Blida, elsewhere in south Lebanon near the border.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment.
On Sunday, the health ministry in Beirut said an Israeli strike in the south killed a man who Israel’s military later said was a Hezbollah operative.
A November 2024 ceasefire sought to end more than a year of hostilities including two months of open war between Israel and Hezbollah that erupted over the Gaza conflict.
Israel has kept up regular strikes on Lebanon despite the truce, mainly saying it is targeting Hezbollah operatives and sites, and accusing the Iran-backed group of rearming.
The Israeli military has also kept troops in five areas of south Lebanon that it deems strategic.
