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".
