BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon said an Israeli strike killed one person in the south on Saturday, the latest deadly attack despite a months-old ceasefire between Israel and the Hizbollah group.

 

An AFP correspondent saw first responders attending the scene in the Marjayoun area, where the partially burnt-out wreckage of a white vehicle sat beside the road.

 

"The Israeli enemy strike on a vehicle on the Al Khardali road killed one person," the health ministry said in a statement.

 

Israel has continued to carry out attacks on Lebanon despite the November truce that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with the Iran-backed group.

 

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

 

The Israeli military has said previous strikes targeted suspected Hizbollah militants or facilities.

 

On Friday, Israeli strikes killed two people in the south the military said were Hizbollah operatives.

 

A day earlier, the Israeli military said it struck Hizbollah weapons storage facilities in several areas after urging civilians to flee.

 

In the face of heavy US pressure and fears of expanded Israeli strikes, the Lebanese government is seeking to disarm Hizbollah.

 

Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi has said the army will complete the disarmament of its fighters in the border area within three months.

 

The army said Thursday's strikes took Israeli violations of the ceasefire to 4,500 and warned they risked slowing down Hizbollah's disarmament.
