Israeli strike kills one in south Lebanon: health ministry

Israeli strike kills one in south Lebanon: health ministry
  • An Israeli strike on a main highway in southern Lebanon killed one person Monday, the Lebanese health ministry said, as Israel intensifies attacks on its northern neighbor
BEIRUT: An Israeli strike on a main highway in southern Lebanon killed one person Monday, the Lebanese health ministry said, as Israel intensifies attacks on its northern neighbor.
Over the weekend, strikes killed five other people, with Israel accusing its Iran-backed foe Hezbollah of rearming.
“An Israeli strike on a car in the area of Baissariyeh killed one person,” the health ministry said Monday.
An AFP journalist saw a bombed out car on the road linking the cities of Sidon and Tyre, with traffic piling up as rescuers worked to retrieve the remains.
Despite a ceasefire in place since November 2024, Israel has kept up attacks on Lebanon, where it continues to hold five positions.
The European Union on Saturday joined a growing chorus of condemnation of Israel’s intensified strikes, urging “to cease all actions that violate... the ceasefire agreement reached a year ago.”
It came after Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Israel of rebuffing its overtures for diplomacy.
