Israel strikes south Lebanon, killing at least one

The Israeli army targeted Thursday several areas in south Lebanon, killing at least one person.

A drone on a motorbike in Deir Seryan killed one person, the National News Agency said. Another strike later hit the outskirts of Ainata - Bint Jbeil.

On Wednesday night, a drone targeted a vehicle in Deir Zahrani and another bombed an apartment in the Tyre district area of al-Hosh as Israeli jets carried out a violent strike on a building in the outskirts of Ansar. Seven people were injured in al-Hosh, the health ministry said.

The Israeli army said its airstrikes in south Lebanon targeted Hezbollah "military infrastructure, arms depots and a rocket launchpad."

Israel has continued to strike Lebanon despite a ceasefire reached in late November, threatening to do so until Hezbollah has been disarmed.

The Lebanese government tasked the army last week to submit a plan to disarm Hezbollah by the year end.

Hezbollah says it would not hand over its weapons while Israeli strikes continue.
