Israeli strike on south Lebanon kills one

An Israeli air strike on southern Lebanon on Friday has killed one person, the Lebanese health ministry said.

In a statement, the health ministry said that an "Israeli enemy" drone strike on a car near al-Numairiya, Nabatiyeh district, killed one person and wounded five others.

There were no immediate comments from the Israeli military on the incident.

Despite a ceasefire agreement signed in November, Israel has launched attacks on Lebanon on a near-daily basis.

The ceasefire required Israel to fully withdraw its troops, but it has kept them in five locations in south Lebanon that it deems strategic.

On Friday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said that while he was open to peaceful relations with Israel, normalisation of ties was "not currently part of Lebanese foreign policy".
