1 killed in Israeli drone strike on car in Aitaroun

Lebanon's health ministry said an Israeli strike killed one person in the country's south on Tuesday, the latest such attack despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

A "drone strike carried out by the Israeli enemy on a vehicle in the town of Aitaroun killed one person and wounded three others including a child," the health ministry said in a statement.

Israel's military claimed that the man killed was "a platoon commander in Hezbollah's Special Operations Array."

Israel has continued to strike Lebanon since the November 27 ceasefire that largely halted more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war.

The United Nations Human Rights Office said Tuesday that "at least 71 civilians have been killed by Israeli forces in Lebanon since the ceasefire came into effect."

The truce accord was based on a U.N. Security Council resolution that says Lebanese troops and United Nations peacekeepers should be the only forces in south Lebanon, and calls for the disarmament of all non-state groups.

Under the truce, Hezbollah was to withdraw fighters from south of Lebanon's Litani River and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure there.

Israel was to pull out all its forces from south Lebanon, but it continues to hold five positions that it deems "strategic".

Lebanon's army has been deploying in the south near the border as Israeli forces have withdrawn and has been dismantling Hezbollah sites.
