One person has been killed and four others wounded in an Israeli drone strike Wednesday on the southern town of Bint Jbeil.

Israel has kept up its strikes on Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war.

It has warned it will continue to strike until the Iran-backed militant group has been disarmed.

Under the truce, Hezbollah was to withdraw its fighters north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese Army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region.

Israel was to withdraw all its troops from Lebanon but has kept them in five areas it deems strategic.
