An “Israeli enemy drone strike on a vehicle” in the town of Bint Jbeil “killed one person and wounded two”, Lebanon’s health ministry said in a statement carried by the official National News Agency.

The ministry later reported one person wounded in a drone strike on another car in the same town, and two others seriously wounded in a similar raid on a vehicle in nearby Shaqra.

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

Israel has kept up its bombardment of Lebanon since a November 27 ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah including two months of all-out war that left the Iran-backed group severely weakened.

On Thursday, an Israeli strike on a vehicle at the southern entrance of Beirut killed a man and wounded three other people, Lebanon said, as the Israeli army said it hit a “terrorist” working for Iran.

Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, about 30km from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region.

Israel was required to fully withdraw its troops from the country, but has kept them in five places it deems strategic.

Israel has warned that it will keep striking Lebanon until Hezbollah has been disarmed.
