At least two people were killed and four others wounded in Israeli attacks on separate areas of south Lebanon Wednesday .

An Israeli drone strike targeted a car in the southern town of Yater, killing one person, the Health Ministry said.

Later in the day, the Israeli army shelled a house in the outsksirts of Shebaa and struck the outskirts of the southern town of al-Kharayeb, with the Israeli army saying it targeted “a site for producing means that aid in the rehabilitation of Hezbollah and the promotion of militant plots.”

A man was killed two children were wounded in Shebaa and at least one person was wounded in al-Kharayeb.

Also in southern border town of Houla, an Israeli drone dropped a sound bomb near a number of citizens who were moving furniture from their homes, causing no injuries.

Israel has kept up its strikes on Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war. Its troops are still occupying five hills in south Lebanon they deem "strategic" and have infiltrated on several occasions into Lebanese territories.

On Tuesday night, Israeli troops infiltrated into the outskirts of the southern border town of Aitaroun and detonated a house in the area. The army's Mountain Brigade forces also destroyed what they said were "several posts that were used by Hezbollah in the past", in "a precise operation" in the Shebaa Farms region.

Hezbollah argues that it has implemented its part of the November agreement by withdrawing its fighters from the South Litani area, demanding that Israel halt its strikes and withdraw from five strategic hills it is still occupying in south Lebanon.
