An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed one person on Saturday, the Lebanese health ministry said, in the latest attack on the area despite a nearly year-long ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
In a statement, the ministry said that 'an Israeli enemy strike' on a vehicle in Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, south Lebanon, killed one person.
The ministry also said that a grenade launched by an Israeli drone in the southern town of Shaqra wounded five people.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incidents.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency identified the killed man as Kamel Reda Qarnabash, saying he was driving his vehicle in Zawtar al-Sharqiyah when the strike hit.
The Israeli army said earlier on Saturday that it killed a Hezbollah member in a strike the day before on Froun, southern Lebanon.
'In a targeted strike the (Israeli army) eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist in the Froun area in southern Lebanon' on Friday, the military said in a statement.
It alleged the Hezbollah member had 'advanced terror attacks against the State of Israel' and its forces.
The Lebanese health ministry said on Friday that an 'Israeli enemy strike' on a vehicle in Froun killed one person.
Lebanon has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024 which sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah by continuing its strikes and maintaining forces inside its territory.
Meanwhile, Head of Mission and Force Commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) Major General Diodato Abagnara said: “Full respect for Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is central to advancing resolution 1701 and creating the conditions for lasting stability.”
He described the Lebanese army as a “close partner in strengthening stability in the south,” saying its “full redeployment across Lebanon is essential for extending state authority.”
