The health ministry has said that Israeli strikes on the country's south and east had killed three people Sunday, despite an ongoing ceasefire deal, as Israel claimed it had targeted two members of Hezbollah.

The Israeli military on Monday accused U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon of shooting down one of its drones a day earlier during an intelligence-gathering mission.
