“An enemy drone launched a strike” targeting a vehicle in Tyre district
On Friday, the Israeli military said it killed a Hezbollah weapons smuggler in a strike on eastern Lebanon the previous day
BEIRUT: Lebanese official media said an Israeli strike on a vehicle in the south on Tuesday killed one person, the latest deadly raid amid a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
“An enemy drone launched a strike” targeting a vehicle in Tyre district, killing one person, the National News Agency said.
It published an image of a burning, mangled car.
A November 27 truce agreement largely halted more than a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, including two months of full-blown war during which Israel sent in ground troops.
Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Lebanese territory since the deal took effect.
On Friday, the Israeli military said it killed a Hezbollah weapons smuggler in a strike on eastern Lebanon the previous day.
On Thursday, the Israeli military said its forces struck a Hezbollah observation post in the south and on Wednesday it said it targeted a “significant” Hezbollah militant in the east.
Under the terms of the ceasefire, Israel was due to complete its withdrawal from Lebanon by February 18 after missing a January deadline, but it has kept troops at five locations it deems “strategic.”
The ceasefire also required Hezbollah to pull back north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border, and to dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.
Last week, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israeli forces would remain indefinitely in what he called a “buffer zone” in south Lebanon.
