An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed one person and wounded three others on Friday, Lebanon鈥檚 health ministry said, in the latest attack despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
In a statement, the ministry said that an 鈥業sraeli airstrike on a vehicle鈥� in Tibnin, southern Lebanon killed one person and wounded three, describing it as a preliminary toll.
The attack comes a day after Israel bombed several southern Lebanese towns it had warned residents to evacuate.
The Israeli military said it struck on Thursday several weapons storage facilities belonging to Hezbollah鈥檚 elite Radwan force in southern Lebanon.
Lebanese president Joseph Aoun condemned the attacks and 鈥榯he silence of the countries who had sponsored鈥� the ceasefire, which he said 鈥榚ncourages further aggression鈥�.
鈥楾he time has come to put an immediate end to these blatant violations of Lebanon鈥檚 sovereignty,鈥� he said.
United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon said the attacks 鈥榩ut the fragile stability that has been built since November of last year at risk鈥�, calling on Israel to 鈥榬efrain from any further strikes and to fully withdraw from Lebanese territory鈥�.
Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah.
Lebanon鈥檚 army said Thursday鈥檚 strikes brought Israel鈥檚 ceasefire 鈥榲iolations鈥� to 4,500, adding that they hinder efforts to disarm Hezbollah.
Under US pressure, Beirut has ordered the Lebanese army to draw up a plan to disarm the Iran-backed group in areas near the Israeli border by the end of the year.
Foreign minister Youssef Raggi said last week that Lebanon鈥檚 army would fully disarm Hezbollah near the border within three months.
