- Lebanese health ministry says four killed in three separate airstrikes
- Israeli military said it had killed two Hezbollah members in the strikes
BEIRUT: Four people were killed on Thursday in separate Israeli strikes on south Lebanon, the Lebanese health ministry reported, as Israel said it had targeted two Hezbollah members.
The attacks are the latest despite a ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.
The ministry said that “an Israeli drone strike targeted a car” in the Nabatiyeh district, killing one person and wounding two others.
Another strike “targeted a truck in the town of Naqura” in southern Lebanon “resulting in one martyr,” it said in a statement.
The third strike, on Qabrikha, killed two people, a man and a woman who succumbed to her wounds, according to the ministry.
The Israeli military said in a statement that it killed Hassan Ahmad Sabra, “a naval commander in Hezbollah’s Radwan Force” in the area of Kfur, south Lebanon.
It also said that it had killed a Hezbollah member “involved in attempts to reestablish terror infrastructure” in Naqura.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the third strike.
Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite a November ceasefire seeking to end over a year of hostilities with the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.
Under the agreement, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations 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.
