An Israeli Air Force drone struck a pickup truck and an excavator in southern Lebanon, wounding two people who later died in hospital, the republic's Health Ministry said, without specifying whether the dead were members of Hezbollah's armed militia or civilians.

“An Israeli drone fired missiles at targets on the highway between the villages of Zibkin and Al-Shuwaytiya“, the text said. “Two victims, taken by rescuers to a hospital in the city of Tyre, later died of their injuries.“ The report states that three more people were injured.

Earlier, the Israeli army press service reported that an Israeli UAV attacked militants in Zibkin who were trying to restore Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure using construction equipment.

According to the news portal Lebanon 24, Israeli artillery opened fire on Lebanese territory in the Al-Wazani River area in the first half of the day. The missiles were fired at the border area near the villages of Rab-Taliatin, Qula and Al-Taibi. No information was provided about the consequences of these attacks.

The Lebanese Armed Forces Command confirmed in a statement that several ceasefire violations by Israel were recorded during the day. “The army is coordinating its actions with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon to put an end to Israeli violations“, the text notes.
