Israeli drone kills 1 and hurts 11 in Tebnin as strike in Ansar kills one

An Israeli drone strike targeted Friday a car at the entrance of the Tebnin government hospital in south Lebanon.

The strike killed one person and wounded 11 others, including two critically, according to the Health Ministry.

Later in the day, a similar strike hit a water truck between the southern towns of Kawthariyet al-Rizz and Ansar, killing one person.

The attacks come after overnight Israeli strikes on five towns in south Lebanon that were preceded by evacuation warnings for six buildings which Israel claimed contained Hezbollah weapons.

Israel has kept up its strikes on southern Lebanon despite a truce signed in November that ended more than a year of hostilities and two months of open war with Hezbollah.

It has also maintained troops in five locations in the south of Lebanon it deems strategic.

Under U.S. pressure, the Lebanese government has ordered the Lebanese Army to draw up a plan to disarm the group in areas near the Israeli border by the end of the year.
