BEIRUT/ANKARA
Five people were injured on Friday in an Israeli drone strike that targeted a prefab room on the roof of a gas station in southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese state news agency.
The National News Agency (NNA) reports that the Israeli drone fired three missiles at dawn, striking the gas station located along the road leading to the town of Houla.
A fragile ceasefire has been in place in Lebanon since November, ending months of cross-border warfare between Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which escalated into a full-scale conflict in September.
Lebanese authorities have reported nearly 3,000 Israeli violations of the truce, including the deaths of nearly 200 people and the injuries of around 500 others.
Under the ceasefire deal, Israel was supposed to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon by Jan. 26, but the deadline was extended to Feb. 18 after Israel refused to comply. It still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
