Israeli Drone Strike Kills Two Southern Lebanon Amid Ceasefire Violations

An Israeli drone strike on Monday targeted a vehicle on the road to Zibdin town in southern Lebanon, killing two people—a husband and wife, including a man who had lost his eyesight in a previous Israeli attack—and injuring one. The Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed the casualties, but the Israeli army has not commented on the strike. This attack occurred despite a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024 between Israel and Hezbollah, which Israel has frequently violated through ongoing raids and strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon. According to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, these Israeli operations have caused at least 103 civilian deaths and targeted residential areas, including sites near UN peacekeeping posts. Emergency medical teams responded swiftly to the incident, underscoring the continuing volatility in the region. The strike highlights the fragile state of the ceasefire and continued tensions between Israel and Lebanon.
