BEIRUT: Lebanon said an Israeli strike killed one person in the south on Saturday, the latest deadly attack despite a months-old ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group.

An AFP correspondent saw first responders attending the scene in the Marjayoun area, where the partially burnt-out wreckage of a white vehicle sat beside the road.

“The Israeli enemy strike on a vehicle on the Al-Khardali road killed one person,” the health ministry said in a statement.

Israel has continued to carry out attacks on Lebanon despite the November truce that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with the Iran-backed group.

It has also maintained troops in five areas of the south it deems strategic.
