Israeli drone strike on car in south Lebanon kills one, says health ministry
An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon has killed one person, the Lebanese health ministry said on Saturday.
The health ministry said that an "Israeli enemy" drone strike on a car in Kunin, south Lebanon, killed at least one man.
It comes a day after Israel killed a woman and wounded 25 other people in attacks across south Lebanon. Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the woman was killed in an Israeli drone strike on an apartment in the southern city of Nabatiyeh.
Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said on social media that the army "did not target any civilian building".
Israel has repeatedly breached a November ceasefire reached with Hezbollah, bombing areas of Lebanon on a frequent basis since then.
Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, around 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 locations in south Lebanon that it deems "strategic".

German president warns against Netanyahu visit over ICC arrest warrant
Germany's President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has cautioned against a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying Berlin must not risk undermining international law in light of the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). 'We, in particular, should make the international legal order part of our own identity,' Steinmeier said in an interview set to air Sunday on Deutschlandfunk radio, according to a transcript obtained by German news agency DPA. He suggested it would be wise to avoid a scenario where Germany might be compelled to detain an Israeli leader under ICC obligations. His remarks follow a controversial statement by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who said Germany would not recognise the ICC's warrant against Netanyahu. The ICC issued arrest warrants last November for both Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity over Israel's ongoing war in Gaza.

Hamas objects to US clause over Gaza truce, citing risk of renewed Israeli strikes
Hamas has turned down a proposed amendment by the United States to the current ceasefire framework, saying the suggested language would give Israel a green light to restart its military campaign, according to Asharq Al Awsat. Citing sources close to the negotiations, the Saudi outlet reported that US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff proposed a clause stating the ceasefire would remain in place 'as long as the negotiations are held in good faith.' Hamas objected to the phrase 'good faith,' arguing that its vague wording would allow Israel to justify resuming air and ground attacks at will. The talks have also stalled over disagreements on how humanitarian aid should be distributed in Gaza and where Israeli forces should be positioned during a potential truce. Israel wants the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to oversee aid delivery, while Hamas insists international organisations take charge. Additionally, Hamas is demanding Israeli troops pull back to the positions they held prior to the 18 March escalation—something Israeli officials have refused, insisting their forces must remain in control of the territory currently held.
