Israeli strikes hit eastern and southern Lebanon, killing two, local media says

Israeli strikes hit eastern and southern Lebanon, killing two, local media says The Israeli army said on Thursday that it conducted two separate air strikes in Ansariyah and al-Jumayjimah areas of Lebanon, despite a ceasefire agreement in place since late last year. Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone hit a car in the vicinity of the village of Hoch al-Sayyed Ali in eastern Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley area, killing two people. The Israeli military says it targeted an alleged Hezbollah member in al-Jumayjimah but did not share details about Ansariyah. Despite a ceasefire that came into force in November last year, Israel continues to carry out near-daily strikes in Lebanon. On 30 October, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun instructed the commander of the army to "confront any Israeli incursion into southern Lebanon" after Israeli forces crossed the border, entered a municipal building in the southern town of Blida and killed an employee.
