Despite a November 2024 ceasefire, Israel has kept up strikes on Lebanon and has also maintained troops in five southern areas.
"An Israeli enemy strike today on a vehicle in the town of Hawsh al-Sayyed Ali in the Hermel district killed two people," the health ministry said, with the state-run National News Agency saying the raid targeted a van.
The NNA also reported that a man wounded in an Israeli strike last week near Beirut had died of his injuries.
It identified him as a member of Lebanon's General Security agency and said "he happened to be passing at the time of the strike as he returned from service" in Beirut.
The health ministry had said that strike targeted a vehicle on the Shouf district's Jadra-Siblin road, around 30 kilometres (19 miles) south of the capital, killing one person and wounding five others, while an AFP photographer had seen a damaged goods truck.
On Tuesday, Lebanon's army said a soldier was among those killed in an Israeli strike a day earlier and denied the Israeli military's accusation that he was a Hezbollah operative.
More than 340 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon since the ceasefire, according to an AFP tally of Lebanese health ministry reports.
