In a statement, the health ministry said that an “Israeli enemy” drone strike on a car near al-Numairiya, Nabatiyeh district killed one person and wounded five others.

There were no immediate comments from the Israeli military on the incident.

Israel has kept up regular strikes on Lebanon, particularly in the south, since a November 27 ceasefire meant to end over a year of hostilities that left Hezbollah severely weakened.

Under the agreement, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, around 30km from the border with Israel, leaving the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the area.

The ceasefire requires Israel to fully withdraw its troops but it has kept them in five locations in south Lebanon that it deems strategic.

On Friday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said that while he was open to peaceful relations with Israel, normalisation of ties was “not currently part of Lebanese foreign policy”.
