Fresh Israeli drone strikes target south Lebanon
An Israeli drone strike targeted a motorcycle Thursday in the southern town of Aitaroun, killing one person, according to the Health Ministry.
Another Israeli drone strike meanwhile targeted the southern town of Em el-Tout in the western sector.
Israel has pressed on with such attacks in south Lebanon in recent days, claiming that it is targeting Hezbollah operatives.
The Israeli military said Thursday that it struck Hezbollah infrastructure sites in south Lebanon overnight, vowing that it "will operate against any attempts by Hezbollah to rebuild or establish a military presence under the guise of civilian cover."
Despite a November 27 ceasefire that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel has continued to carry out near-daily strikes in Lebanon.
Hezbollah, significantly weakened by the war, insists it is adhering to the ceasefire, even as Israeli attacks persist.
