Wave of Israeli airstrikes targets south Lebanon as drones overfly Dahieh

A wave of Israeli airstrikes targeted several areas deep in south Lebanon on Thursday evening, as Israeli drones overflew Beirut's southern suburbs.

The strikes hit the al-Rihan heights in the Jezzine district, the Tebna area in the Sidon district and the outskirts of the Jezzine district town of al-Aishiyeh, which is President Joseph Aoun's hometown. Strikes also targeted the West Bekaa area of al-Srayra.

Earlier in the day one person was killed by an Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in the town of Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa near the city of Nabatiyeh.

Israel did not immediately comment on the strikes.

Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war.

According to the agreement, Hezbollah must withdraw its fighters to the north of the Litani river, roughly 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border with Israel, leaving the Lebanese Army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the area.

Last week, Israel said it would continue to strike Lebanon until Hezbollah was disarmed.

The ceasefire requires Israel to fully withdraw its troops from Lebanon, but it has kept them in five positions it deems "strategic".
