Two killed in drone strikes on West Bekaa and Nabatieh al-Fawqa
One person was killed Monday in an Israeli drone strike that targeted an excavator in West Bekaa's Suhmor in east Lebanon.
A similar strike killed the driver of a water tanker in Nabatieh al-Fawqa.
Earlier on Monday, an Israeli drone strike targeted a house in the southern border town of Aitaroun.
The strikes come a day after a series of strikes that the Israeli military said targeted weapons depots belonging to Hezbollah in south Lebanon.
Despite a November ceasefire that ended over a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, the latter has kept up regular strikes on Lebanon and still has troops positioned at five border points inside Lebanon.
Lebanon, meanwhile, is under intense pressure from the United States and the ongoing Israeli strikes to disarm Hezbollah, with the Lebanese army having drawn up a plan to disarm it, beginning in the south.
