Israeli drone strikes southern town of Majdalzoun
An Israeli drone struck Wednesday a house in the southern town of Majdalzoun in the Tyre district, hours after Hamas said that one of its commanders was killed in an Israeli strike on Sidon.
One person was lightly injured in the strike, local media reports said, adding that the targeted house was already destroyed.
Israel has continued to launch regular strikes in Lebanon despite the November 27 truce which sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah including two months of full-blown war.
Under the deal, Hezbollah was to pull back its fighters north of Lebanon's Litani River, some 30 kilometers from the Israeli border, and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure to its south.
Israel was to withdraw all its forces from Lebanon, but it has kept troops in five positions that it deems "strategic".
A Lebanese security source told AFP that Hezbollah had withdrawn fighters from south of the Litani and dismantled most of its military infrastructure in the area.
Lebanon says it has respected its commitments and has called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its attacks and withdraw from the five border positions.
