Attacks on several towns come as officials from countries including the US, France meet with Lebanon official in Beirut.
At least five people have been killed in Israeli attacks on several towns in southern Lebanon, the country’s Health Ministry has said, amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
“An Israeli enemy drone strike on the town of Ainata killed one person and wounded another,” the ministry said.
An “Israeli strike on the town of Bint Jbeil killed three people,” while a third “on Beit Lif killed one person”, it added.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the attacks.
Israel’s army escalated its attacks on Lebanon in late September after more than 11 months of cross-border exchanges of fire with the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which began firing rockets towards Israel after the Palestinian group Hamas’s attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
