ANKARA (AA) - One person was reportedly killed Thursday morning as a result of an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon, the latest Israeli violation of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.
The Lebanese state news agency NNA said one person was killed and another injured in an Israeli drone strike on a car in the town of Maaroub.
The Lebanese broadcaster also reported an Israeli artillery shelling on the Chaqif region in southern Lebanon early Thursday.
A fragile ceasefire had been in place in Lebanon since November, ending months of cross-border warfare between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which escalated into a full-scale conflict in September.
Lebanese authorities reported over 1,250 Israeli violations of the ceasefire, including at least 100 fatalities and more than 330 injuries.
Under the ceasefire deal, Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon by Jan. 26, but the deadline was extended to Feb. 18 after it refused to comply. It still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
