Despite a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024, Israeli occupation forces continue to carry out near-daily airstrikes on Lebanon and maintain their occupation of five positions in the southern area.

In a statement, the Lebanese health ministry said "an Israeli enemy raid" near Khirbet Selm, south Lebanon, killed one person and wounded another in a preliminary toll.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that the strike on the south targeted a hangar, while the attacks on the east hit mountains near the town of Nabi Sheet.

The Israeli army claimed it struck a Hezbollah "weapons manufacturing site" in the south.

On Wednesday, Israel struck four crossings along the Syria-Lebanon border, alleging they were used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons.

More than 350 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon since the ceasefire, according to an AFP tally of health ministry reports.
