An Israeli strike on Lebanon’s Bekaa region killed one person and wounded two others on Wednesday, despite an ongoing truce between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah.

“One person was killed and two others were wounded as a result of an attack carried out by an enemy drone at dawn on the outskirts of Al-Jabur in West Bekaa,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.

Hezbollah on Tuesday said that it had launched rockets and attack drones at a site in northern Israel in response to blatant Israeli ceasefire violations, including attacks on civilians and the destruction of their homes and villages."

The Israeli military also said on Tuesday that Hezbollah launched several rockets towards soldier stations in south Lebanon and that the military struck the launcher in response.

NNA on Wednesday reported Israeli artillery shelling and demolitions in southern towns Israel currently occupies. Israel conducted giant strikes across Lebanon and invaded the south after Hezbollah entered the Middle East war in support of its backer Iran on 2 March.

Despite the truce, which began on Friday, Israeli soldiers are still active in south Lebanon.

The defence minister of Israel, Katz, said on Sunday that they would use "full force" if threatened.

Under the truce terms, Israel stated it reserves the right to act against planned, imminent ongoing attacks.
