One killed in Israeli drone strike on motorcycle in Houla
An Israeli drone strike on Tuesday targeted a motorcycle in the southern town of Houla, killing one person, the Health Ministry said.
Israel's military still carries out regular strikes in Lebanon, saying it is targeting Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure despite a ceasefire deal reached in November following a 66-day war.
The ceasefire deal was based on U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 that says Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers should be the only forces in south Lebanon, and that calls for the disarmament of all non-state groups.
Under the deal, Hezbollah was to withdraw its fighters north of Lebanon's Litani River and Israel was to pull all its forces from south Lebanon, however it has kept troops in five areas it deems "strategic".
