Ghaziyeh (Lebanon) (AFP) – Lebanon’s health ministry said an Israeli strike Friday on a vehicle near the southern coastal city of Sidon killed one person, with Israel announcing that an attack in the same area had targeted a Hezbollah operative.
Despite a November 27 ceasefire that sought to halt more than a year of conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, Israel has continued to conduct near-daily strikes in Lebanon.
“The attack carried out by the Israeli enemy against a car on the Sidon-Ghaziyeh road resulted in one dead,” a health ministry statement said on the fourth consecutive day of Israeli attacks in the south.
Israel’s military later said it had killed a member of Hezbollah in the area.
