ISTANBUL

One person was killed and another injured in Israeli attacks in southern Gaza on Thursday, in the latest violations of a ceasefire agreement, Lebanese media said.

An Israeli airstrike hit the outskirts of Rab El-Thalathine and Markaba towns in the Marjayoun district, leaving one person dead, the state news agency NNA reported.

A shepherd was also wounded by Israeli army fire in the town of Wazzani, the broadcaster said.

The Lebanese Health Ministry has yet to issue a statement about the attacks.

Earlier on Thursday, an Israeli drone strike hit several prefabricated shelters in the border village of Mhaibib.

No casualties were reported in that attack.

Many residents in Mhaibib had erected these temporary shelters over the ruins of their homes destroyed in Israeli air assaults in southern Lebanon.

Israeli forces have conducted near-daily attacks in southern Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah activities, despite the ceasefire that was reached in November. The truce ended months of cross-border warfare between Israel and 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 over 200 victims and injuries to at least 500 others since last November.

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. Israel still maintains a military presence at five border outposts.
