An "Israeli enemy drone" struck a car in the coastal district of Tyre, the ministry said.

It was the third consecutive day of Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Israel claimed it killed two Hezbollah members over the past two days.

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

The ceasefire agreement states that only UN peacekeepers and the Lebanese army should be deployed in the south, though Israel has retained troops in five areas.

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