Israel keeps up strikes on south as Lebanon mulls disarming Hezbollah

W460

An Israeli drone targeted Thursday an excavator in the southern town of Yaroun as Israeli forces infiltrated Wadi Hounin, entering two Lebanese houses near Adeisseh.

Israel has kept up its strikes on Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war.

On Wednesday, one person was killed in an Israeli drone strike on his car in the southern town of Haddatha in the Bint Jbeil district.

These attacks come amid tensions in Lebanon over Hezbollah disarmament.

Israel has warned it will continue to strike until Hezbollah has been disarmed. The Lebanese government meanwhile ordered the army to devise plans to disarm the group, under mounting U.S. pressure.
