Lebanon says two killed in Israeli strikes

BEIRUT: Lebanon said Israeli strikes in the country´s south killed two people on Tuesday, the latest deadly raids despite a nearly year-long ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

An “Israeli enemy drone strike on a car in the city of Bint Jbeil killed one person”, the health ministry said in a statement, while the state-run National News Agency said the raid killed an employee of the Bint Jbeil municipalities union.

The health ministry later said an Israeli drone strike on a car killed one person in Blida, elsewhere in south Lebanon near the border.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment.

On Sunday, the health ministry in Beirut said an Israeli strike in the south killed a man who Israel´s military later said was a Hezbollah operative.
