One dead as Israel resumes drone strike

Lebanon's health ministry said one person was killed yesterday in an Israeli drone strike, a day after the most intense escalation since a November ceasefire in the war with Hezbollah.

"The Israeli enemy raid with a drone on a car in Aita al-Shaab led to the death of one citizen," the health ministry said, after the official National News Agency (NNA) had reported the strike on the southern village.

The NNA also reported separate Israeli strikes yesterday on Naqurah, Shihin and Labbouneh in the south, near the Israeli border.

The Lebanese health ministry said seven people were killed on Saturday, including in an attack on Tyre which a security source told AFP targeted a Hezbollah official.
