BEIRUT: Lebanon said Israeli strikes killed four people in the country’s south on Tuesday as Israel said it intercepted Hezbollah rockets and launched raids, despite a US-Iran deal that includes Lebanon.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said Israeli drone strikes targeted two vehicles in the town of Mayfadoun and another in nearby Shukeen, both in the Nabatieh area, “leading to an initial toll of four dead” and others wounded.

The Israeli military said it conducted a strike in south Lebanon after it “identified a suspicious vehicle” where its soldiers were operating, without specifying where.

It also said its forces intercepted several rockets fired at Israeli soldiers in south Lebanon, following which the air force “struck and dismantled” a launcher.
