Israeli strike on south Lebanon kills two, Hezbollah accuses it of truce ‘violation’

BEIRUT, Lebanon: An Israeli strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon killed two people on Wednesday, Lebanese state media reported, with militant group Hezbollah calling it another “violation” of a truce between the two sides.

Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the Middle East war on March 2 with rocket fire at Israel to avenge the killing of Iran’s supreme leader in US-Israeli strikes.

Israel responded with airstrikes and a ground offensive that Lebanon says have killed more than 4,100 people.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said that “two people were killed” when an Israeli drone targeted their vehicle near the town of Kfar Rumman.
