An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed one person on Saturday, the Lebanese health ministry said, in the latest violation of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

In a statement, the ministry said an Israeli drone strike targeted a car in the village of Kunin, killing one man, according to a preliminary toll.

The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incident.

The attack comes a day after Israel killed a woman and wounded 25 others in heavy strikes across the country’s south.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that the woman was killed in an Israeli drone strike on a residential apartment in the city of Nabatieh.

Friday’s air strikes were described by residents as “the most intense” on southern Lebanon since the end of the 66-day war last November.

The Israeli military claimed, without providing evidence, that the site was part of a damaged underground project that Hezbollah had attempted to repair in recent days. 

Israel is reported to have violated the November 2024 ceasefire, which ended over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, on an almost daily basis. 

At least 173 people have been killed and more than 400 wounded in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire went into effect, Hussein Chaabane, an investigative journalist with Legal Agenda who has been tracking the strikes, was quoted as saying by The Washington Post.

Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, some 30km from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed forces in the region.

Hezbollah has previously said that the majority of its military sites in southern Lebanon are now under the control of the Lebanese army.

“Out of 265 Hezbollah military positions identified south of the Litani, the movement has ceded about 190 to the army,” a party source told AFP in April.

Israel was required to fully withdraw from the country, but its forces still occupy five “strategic” locations in southern Lebanon.
