Two killed in Israeli strike on Kfar Rumman, raising Monday's death toll to three

Three people were killed on Monday in Israeli strikes -- one in the southern city of Tyre and two later in Kfar Rumman near the city of Nabatiyeh.

Hezbollah's Al-Manar television said the Tyre strike killed Sheikh Ali Noureddine, "who previously worked at Al-Manar channel as a presenter of religious programs".

Hezbollah's media office said in a statement that Noureddine was also the imam of Al-Hawsh, in the suburbs of Tyre, calling his killing a "treacherous assassination".

Lebanese Information Minister Paul Morcos condemned the strike, saying Israeli attacks "do not spare press and media personnel".

The Israeli army accused Noureddine of having served "as head of an artillery squad" for Hezbollah in the area, and said the other two killed were also Hezbollah operatives.

Media reports said the other two killed in Kfar Rumman were a university student and an Egyptian young man, both from the southern town of Dweir.

Despite the ceasefire, Israel has kept up regular strikes on what it says are Hezbollah targets and has maintained troops in five south Lebanon locations it deems "strategic."

The strikes Monday came as Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem spoke in a televised address to supporters at a solidarity rally for Iran.

He said that any attack on Tehran would also be an attack on Hezbollah, and warned that any new war on Iran would ignite the region.

Hezbollah had called on supporters to gather on Monday in its strongholds across Lebanon to express support for Iran "in the face of American-Zionist sabotage and threats".

Some supporters in Beirut's southern suburbs held pictures of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as well as Hezbollah and Iran flags, while also chanting "death to America".
