Israeli strikes on south Lebanon kill two 'Hezbollah members'

Two people were killed Thursday in separate Israeli strikes on south Lebanon, the Lebanese health ministry said, in the latest attacks 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 Naqoura" in southern Lebanon "resulting in one martyr", it said in a statement.

The Israeli military later claimed in a statement that the two killed were members of Hezbollah, sharing footage of the airstrikes.

It identified the man killed in Kfour, Nabatiyeh, as Hassan Ahmed Sabra, claiming that he served as a commander in the naval force of Hezbollah's Radwan Force.

The military said another Hezbollah operative eliminated was "attempting to rebuild terrorist infrastructure in the Naqoura region," without naming him.

Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite a November ceasefire seeking to end over a year of hostilities with Lebanese Shia armed group, vowing to stop it from rebuilding itself after facing heavy losses.

Under the agreement, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the Israeli border, and completely disarm, 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.
