Two people were killed and two others injured in an explosion at a house in the southern Lebanese town of Tayr Harfa, a site previously previously booby-trapped by the Israeli army, the state-run National News Agency reported.

The agency initially had reported casualties without specifying numbers, stating that a remnant of war had detonated inside the house.

A fragile ceasefire has been in place since Nov. 27, ending a period of mutual shelling between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah that began on Oct. 8, 2023 and escalated into a full-scale conflict last September.

Since the ceasefire took effect, Israel has committed over 840 violations, killing and injuring dozens of people in Lebanon, including women and children.

Israel was supposed to complete its withdrawal from southern Lebanon by Jan. 26 under the ceasefire deal, but it refused and the deadline was extended to Feb. 18.
