Lebanon says two killed in Israeli strikes on south

BERIUT: Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed two people on Tuesday, according to the Lebanese health ministry, with Israel saying it had targeted members of Hezbollah. Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that followed more than a year of hostilities with the Iran-backed militant group that culminated in two months of open war. The health ministry said in a statement that an “Israeli drone strike” on an excavator in Yater killed one person. It also reported a separate air strike on Deir Aames, which killed one person and wounded another.
