BEIRUT, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- One person was killed Tuesday morning in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.
According to NNA, an Israeli drone struck a vehicle in the city of Bint Jbeil, killing Ali Cheaito, an employee of the Union of Bint Jbeil Municipalities.
Israeli warplanes were also reportedly flying at low altitude over the city of Nabatieh and other areas in southern Lebanon.
A U.S.- and French-brokered ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel has been in effect since Nov. 27, 2024, ending months of cross-border clashes triggered by the Gaza war. Despite the agreement, Israel has continued to launch occasional strikes in Lebanon, saying they target Hezbollah "threats," and it maintains forces at five key positions along the Lebanese border. ■
