BEIRUT: At least two people were killed on Monday in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon, Lebanese authorities said, as a ceasefire ending more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah appeared increasingly fragile. Lebanon and Israel have already traded accusations of breaches, and on Monday Lebanon said the violations had turned deadly.
One person was killed in an Israeli air attack on the southern Lebanese town of Marjayoun, about 10 km from the border with Israel, Lebanon's health ministry said. Lebanon's state security said an Israeli drone strike had killed a member of its force while he was on duty in Nabatieh, 12 km from the border. State security called it a "flagrant violation" of the truce. The Lebanese army said an Israeli drone hit an army bulldozer in northeast Lebanon near the border with Syria, wounding one soldier. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to questions about the incidents. — Reuters
