BEIRUT, March 23 (Xinhua) -- An Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in southern Lebanon on Sunday, killing one person, one day after Israeli warplanes renewed airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle in the southern village of Aita al-Shaab with a guided missile, resulting in casualties.
The Lebanese citizen killed in the strike was identified as Hassan Naameh Al-Zein.
The NNA also reported an earlier Israeli strike, stating that an Israeli artillery shell hit a cafe in the Al-Matal area of Aita al-Shaab shortly after midnight, causing significant damage. No injuries were reported in the cafe strike.
Israeli warplanes were also spotted flying at medium altitude over the Baalbek region in eastern Lebanon, the agency added.
Lebanon's Public Health Ministry said in a statement that Israeli airstrikes a day earlier had killed seven people and wounded 40 across multiple regions.
Hezbollah confirmed the death of one of its members, Radwan Awada, in an Israeli airstrike on the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon.
Tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border have persisted despite a U.S.- and French-brokered ceasefire agreement in place since Nov. 27, which ended more than a year of clashes between Israel and Hezbollah amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Israel has not withdrawn from five key positions along the Lebanese border despite a Feb. 18 deadline set by the agreement. The Israeli military continues to conduct strikes in Lebanon, stating that they are aimed at countering "Hezbollah threats." ■
