Israel says killed Hezbollah militant in Arnoun strike

Israel's military said it killed Thursday a Hezbollah militant in a strike on south Lebanon, the second such attack in two days despite a ceasefire with the Iran-backed militant group.

"Earlier today, an IDF (military) aircraft struck and eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist in the area of Arnoun who attempted to re-establish Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in the area," a military statement said.

Lebanon's health ministry said one person was killed in "an Israeli drone strike that targeted a vehicle on the Arnoun–Yahmor road" in the south.

On Wednesday, Israel's military said it struck and killed a "Hezbollah terrorist who held the position of the commander of the Qabrikha area", also in the south.

Israel has continued to launch strikes on its neighbor despite the November 27 truce which sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah including, two months of full-blown war.

Under the deal, Hezbollah was to pull back its fighters north of Lebanon's Litani River, some 30 kilometers from the Israeli border, and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure to its south.

Israel was to withdraw all its forces from Lebanon, but it has kept troops in five areas that it deems "strategic".

Lebanon says it has respected its ceasefire commitments and has called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its attacks and withdraw all of its troops.
