Renewed Israeli strikes in Lebanon kill two, hurt seven

According to news from Lebanon, two people died and seven people were injured in Israeli air strikes on Lebanon.

The two separate incidents come amid an increase in attacks that Israel says target the Hezbollah group.

In one attack, an Israeli drone crashed into a car on a road in southeastern Lebanon, killing two brothers, Lebanon’s state news agency NNA reported.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said early Saturday that an Israeli drone targeted another vehicle near a hospital in the southern town of Bint Jbeil, injuring seven people.

There has been no statement from the Israeli army yet.

On Thursday, Israel said it had launched a series of attacks on Hezbollah military targets in southern Lebanon.

Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have increased recently despite a fragile ceasefire.

Israel, with US support, is pressing for the complete disarmament of Hezbollah.

A ceasefire has technically been in effect since late November last year, following months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.

However, Israel accuses Hezbollah of rearming and continues attacks almost every day.
