BEIRUT (AFP) – Lebanese official media said two people were wounded when Israeli drones attacked a vehicle in the south, a day after a deadly raid and despite an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire.
“Israeli drones carried out more than one strike on a vehicle in Ras Naqura, near a rubbish dump” south of a United Nations (UN) peacekeeping position, the National News Agency (NNA) said.
“Two siblings who were collecting scrap metal” were wounded and taken to hospital, it added.
Israel’s military said it carried out a strike on Lebanon that targeted people it alleged were engaged in activities that violated the ceasefire deal.
“Earlier today, a number of suspects were identified loading weapons onto vehicles in the area of Naqoura in southern Lebanon,” it said, adding that the Israeli Air Force “struck one of the vehicles in order to remove the threat”.
“The activity of the suspects constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” it said in a statement.
The strikes come a day after Israel’s military said it killed a Hezbollah navy commander in the south, accusing the slain militant of violating the November 27 ceasefire.
