Israeli strike targets motorbike in Batoulay, killing one person

A man was killed Tuesday in an Israeli airstrike on his motorcycle in the southern town of Batoulay.

The Israeli army said it has targeted a Hezbollah member in the southern town of Deir Qanoun.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli artillery shelled the southern border town of Yaroun and drones dropped grenades and stun bombs on Mays al-Jabal, Dhaira, and Rmeish, also on the border with Israel.

Despite the ceasefire, Israel has kept up regular strikes on what it says are Hezbollah targets and has maintained troops in five south Lebanon locations it deems "strategic." It has recently intensified its strikes on south and east Lebanon, killing three people on Monday, and two people on Sunday.

More than 350 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon since the ceasefire, according to an AFP tally of health ministry reports.
