The Lebanese health ministry on Tuesday said that an "Israeli enemy drone" hit a motorcycle in the coastal Tyre district.

Nine people were wounded in the attack, including three in "critical condition", the ministry said, adding that two children were among the victims.

Israel has continued to launch strikes on its northern neighbour despite the November truce that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities, including two months of full-blown war.

Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, only UN peacekeepers and the Lebanese army should be deployed in southern Lebanon, though Israel has retained its forces in five areas it has declared strategic.

Lebanon has called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its attacks and withdraw all its troops.
