Israeli airstrikes killed two people in southern Lebanon on Wednesday morning, Lebanese authorities said, as Israel expands its attacks to areas beyond the immediate border region.
The health ministry said an "Israeli enemy strike" hit a vehicle in the town of Zahrani in the Sidon district, killing one person.
Images circulated locally showed a destroyed vehicle on the roadside as security forces and emergency crews inspected the scene.
The ministry later reported a second fatal strike on a vehicle in the town of Bazuriyeh in Tyre district.
An Israeli military spokesperson said the strikes targeted Hezbollah members.
Israel has continued to carry out regular strikes in Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreed in November 2024 that was meant to end its conflict with Hezbollah.
Most of the strikes have been concentrated south of the Litani river, where the Lebanese government has sought to disarm the Iran backed group.
Sidon, around 50 kilometres north of the Israeli border, lies north of the Litani. Tyre, which has been hit multiple times since the ceasefire, is south of the river, where the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers have said there has been no Hezbollah activity.
Earlier this month, the Lebanese army said it had fully disarmed Hezbollah in areas south of the Litani river, marking what it described as the completion of the first phase of a broader plan to bring all weapons under state control.
Hezbollah has long rejected calls to surrender its arms, with a senior figure recently warning that any plans to forcibly disarm the groups could push the country toward civil war.
Israel has criticised the pace of the Lebanese army’s actions and warned it could escalate military operations.
More than 350 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon since the ceasefire took effect, according to Lebanese officials, including more than 100 civilians.
