W460

Strikes targeted Tuesday afternoon al-Henniyyeh, Kherbet Selem, Qsaybeh, Harees, Tayrdebba, and Ras al-Ain south of Tyre, while Hezbollah claimed drone attacks on a soldier and a Merkava tank in north Israel near the border with Houla.

The Israeli army renewed its warning to four villages in south Lebanon -- Arzoun, Tayrdebba, Bazourieh and al-Hosh.

The strike on a motorbike on the Tayrdebba road killed a Syrian citizen and his wife, the National News Agency said.

Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed 380 people since a nominal ceasefire began on April 17.

A ministry official said that "380 people, including 22 children and 39 women, have been killed in strikes on Lebanon since the ceasefire came into effect", out of a total of around 2,900 people killed since the war erupted on March 2.

Under the terms of the truce released by Washington, Israel reserves the right to act against "planned, imminent or ongoing attacks". In addition to carrying out ongoing airstrikes, Israeli troops have been operating behind a so-called "yellow line" that runs around 10 kilometers north of the border between the two countries.
