The Israeli military said Wednesday it had killed two Hezbollah members in strikes the previous day in south Lebanon, where Israel has carried out repeated attacks despite the ceasefire.

The Israeli military said in a statement it had "struck and eliminated two Hezbollah terrorists in the areas of Bint Jbeil and Blida in southern Lebanon" on Tuesday.

One person was killed Wednesday in an Israeli strike on a car in the southern town of al-Tiri.

Eleven other were wounded in the strike, the health ministry said, as a school bus with students on board was passing near the targeted car.

Lebanon said an Israeli strike on Tuesday night on a crowded Palestinian refugee camp in the country's south killed at least 13 people, as Israel said it struck a Hamas compound.

A senior Arab official has told Lebanese officials that all the Israeli reports about an escalation or broad war on Lebanon are fabricated and baseless.

According to al-Joumhouria newspaper, the Arab official said the Israeli officials’ public statements against Lebanon are not being reflected in closed-door meetings they are holding with international envoys, in which they are stressing that “there will be no broad war on the northern front.”

President Joseph Aoun said that Hezbollah's military wing has ended and that all the group wants now is a "decent" end. The President had many times called for dialogue with Hezbollah and has been known to have a soft approach to the group's disarmament.

"They come to me knowing this (that they have ended militarily) but they are keen on securing an honorable end and a decent exit. This is exactly what we are striving to achieve, away from populist speeches prevailing in the country ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections," Aoun told Tuesday the Asas Media news portal, although he later expressed his commitment to disarm the group and expand the state's authority to all of Lebanon.

Speaker Nabih Berri has received new messages indicating that Tehran does not intend to escalate in Lebanon and that Hezbollah’s latest stances are related to the Lebanese political life, the PSP’s al-Anbaa news portal reported on Tuesday.

Hezbollah’s new positions are linked to “the need of each group to mobilize its supporters until the final course of the parliamentary elections becomes clear,” seeing us the upcoming polls will “reflect the sizes of the domestic forces and the balances of the coming political period,” Tehran was quoted as telling Berri.

An Israeli drone targeted Tuesday a car in the southern town of Bint Jbeil, killing one person.

The national News Agency said the strike killed Ali Sheaito, who works at the Union of Municipalities of Bint Jbeil.

A scheduled visit of Army chief Rodolphe Haykal to the U.S. was cancelled amid tensions between the army and Washington.

Media reports said some of Haykal's meetings were cancelled, prompting him to cancel the visit.

Government and business leaders and investors, mainly from Arab nations, gathered Tuesday at the Beirut Seaside Arena in an investor conference organized by the Lebanese government.

The conference brings together the private sector, the Lebanese diaspora, and international partners, as the country tries to rebuild itself after an unprecedented economic crisis and a war with Israel that did not completely stop despite a ceasefire reached in November last year.

Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday warned against what he called “surrendering” the country to Israel.

“Those saying the resistance is a problem because it's not surrendering accept that the country be surrendered to Israel, whereas we do not accept that,” said Qassem in a televised speech marking the first anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah spokesman and senior official Mohammad Afif.
