Four people, including a woman, were killed and seven others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a suburb of Beirut Tuesday morning, in the latest Israeli violation of a ceasefire agreement, the Lebanese Health Ministry said.

The Health Ministry said that the death toll rose to four after an injured person succumbed to his wounds from the Israeli attack.

Earlier, Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported that an Israeli airstrike had targeted a building in a southern suburb of Beirut with two rockets.

President Joseph Aoun strongly condemned the Israeli airstrike, calling on Lebanon's “friends” worldwide to support the country's right to full territorial sovereignty.

He also said that the airstrike represents “a dangerous warning of (Israeli) intentions against Lebanon.”

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam also condemned the Israeli airstrike as a "clear breach" of the ceasefire and UN Resolution 1701.

An Israeli military statement claimed that it had targeted a Hezbollah member posing an “immediate threat to Israeli civilians.”

Hezbollah later said that two of its members were killed by Israeli forces, including senior commander Hassan Ali Bdeir, who Israel claimed to have assassinated in the airstrike.

In a statement, Hezbollah urged supporters to attend the funeral of Bdeir and another member, Ali Hassan Bdeir, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

While the statement did not mention any blood tie between the two – despite their shared last name – Al-Mayadeen, a channel closely aligned with Hezbollah, reported that they were father and son.

On Friday, Israeli fighter jets bombed and destroyed a building in the Hadath neighborhood of Beirut’s southern suburbs, marking the first Israeli strike on the area since the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon last November.

A fragile ceasefire had been in place in Lebanon since Nov. 27, ending months of cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah, which had escalated into a full-scale conflict last September.

Lebanese authorities reported over 1,250 Israeli violations of the ceasefire, including at least 100 fatalities and more than 330 injuries.

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 it refused to comply. It still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
