BEIRUT, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- One person was killed on Wednesday in an Israeli drone strike on the village of Yater in southern Lebanon, Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) reported.
Lebanese security sources told Xinhua the dead was Abdel Monem Sweidan, a Hezbollah member.
Meanwhile, the NNA reported that Israeli drones bombed excavators in the villages of Yaroun and Mays El Jabal in southern Lebanon, and have been flying at low height over Beirut and its southern suburbs since morning.
Infiltrating Israeli forces on the southern outskirts of the village of Aitaroun, southern Lebanon, blew up a house in the area at dawn, the NNA added.
The security sources said an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade on the village of Houla where several citizens were moving furniture from their homes. No casualties were reported.
Since Nov. 27, 2024, a U.S.- and French-brokered ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel has been in effect, ending more than a year of cross-border clashes. The agreement stipulated Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, but the Israeli army has maintained several posts, and started building new ones, along the border and continues to launch attacks on the grounds of countering "threats" from Hezbollah. ■
