Lebanon Health Ministry Says One Dead In Israeli Strike In South

Beirut, Lebanon: Lebanon's health ministry said an Israeli strike in the country's south killed one person Monday, the latest such raid despite a delicate truce between Israel and Hezbollah, and after a US envoy visited.

The "Israeli enemy" drone strike on the town of Taybeh near the border "led to the death of one citizen", the health ministry said in a statement.

An Israeli security source said the Israeli military "struck a Hezbollah terrorist" in the Taybeh area.

The official National News Agency (NNA) said the strike hit "in front of a motorcycle repair shop" in the town, in south Lebanon's Marjayoun district.

Lebanon said an Israeli strike on Sunday killed two people in south Lebanon's Zibqin, as the Israeli military said it targeted Hezbollah operatives in the area.

Israeli strikes last week also targeted other south Lebanon locations and even Hezbollah's south Beirut bastion.

The NNA also reported Israeli strikes on prefabricated homes in south Lebanon's Naqura area on Sunday. Such homes have usually been set up for returning residents whose homes were destroyed in the conflict.

The truce accord was based on a UN Security Council resolution that says Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers should be the only forces in south Lebanon, and calls for the disarmament of all non-state groups.
