One person was killed and another was wounded when an Israeli drone bombed a car in the southern town of Burj Rahal on Wednesday, the National News Agency said.

The strike also caused a state of panic among students in two nearby schools, prompting their parents to scramble to take them home, NNA added.

Hamish Falconer, the UK Minister for the Middle East, has ended a two-day visit to Lebanon, the British embassy said on Tuesday.

An Israeli drone strike targeted a car in the southern town of Kfar Dajjal on Tuesday, killing one person, media reports said.

Despite a November 2024 ceasefire with Hezbollah, Israel maintains troops in five areas in southern Lebanon and has kept up regular air strikes.

Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday said Hezbollah “has fully committed to the ceasefire agreement” with Israel.

Berri added that the Lebanese Army has deployed in the South Litani region with more than 9,000 soldiers and officers, noting that the army can deploy up to the international border but pointing out that “what is obstructing that is the continued Israeli occupation of vast parts of southern Lebanese territory.”

U.S. envoy Tom Barrack has reportedly suggested that President Joseph Aoun should pick up the phone and call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in order to settle the outstanding issues between Lebanon and Israel.

According to media reports, Barrack voiced his remarks in a meeting with journalists in Turkey.

President Joseph Aoun announced Tuesday that negotiations with Israel are a “unanimous Lebanese choice.”

President Joseph Aoun stressed Monday that Lebanon’s “only choice” is negotiations with Israel.

“Lebanon has no choice other than negotiation, seeing as in politics there are three work tools: diplomacy, economy and war. When war does not lead to any result, what can we do? The end of every war in the world has been negotiation, and negotiation does not take place with a friend or an ally, but rather with an enemy,” Aoun added.

Hezbollah political bureau member Mahmoud Qmati has said that the “equation” that Israel is “trying to impose on Lebanon” will not continue and “will change.”

“As Lebanon, the state, diplomatic relations and Lebanese army and resistance, we will not allow that this equation remain above our heads and that this aggression continue against our land. The state must fulfill its promises and responsibilities, after it said that it will liberate the land and the captives, put an end to violations and begin reconstruction,” Qmati added.

Disarming Hezbollah and other non-state actors as well as “ending Iran’s proxy activities” is crucial to “ensuring peace and stability in Lebanon and across the region," a U.S. State Department official has said.

"An armed Hezbollah is a threat to Lebanon and its neighbors. The region and the world are watching carefully. A stable Lebanon will present attractive investment opportunities," the official told Fox News.

An Israeli drone strike on Monday targeted a car in the southern town of al-Sharqiyeh in the Nabatiyeh district, killing one person and wounding seven others, the Health Ministry said.

Al-Arabiya’s Al-Hadath channel identified the person targeted as “Hezbollah commander Mohammad Ali Hadid,” saying he had survived a similar drone strike overnight in the Zefta area.
