Two wounded in Israeli drone strike on car in South
An Israeli drone strike on Monday targeted a Renault Rapid vehicle in the southern town of Braiqaa.
The Health Ministry said two people were wounded in the strike.
Two people had been killed Sunday in a drone strike near the southern town of Jmaijmeh, around 10 kilometers from the border.
Under heavy U.S. pressure and fears of expanded Israeli strikes, Lebanon has committed to disarming Hezbollah, which was badly weakened after more than a year of hostilities with Israel including two months of open war that ended with the November 2024 ceasefire.
Lebanon's army was expected to complete the disarmament south of the Litani River -- about 30 kilometers from the border with Israel -- by the end of 2025, before tackling the rest of the country.
Lebanon's cabinet is to meet on Thursday to discuss the army's progress, while the ceasefire monitoring committee -- comprising Lebanon, Israel, the United States, France and U.N. peacekeepers -- is also set to meet this week.
At least 350 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon since the ceasefire, according to an AFP tally of Lebanese health ministry reports.
