Lebanese official media said two people were wounded on Wednesday when Israeli drones attacked a vehicle in the south, a day after a deadly raid and despite an Israel-Laebanon ceasefire.

"Israeli drones carried out more than one strike on a vehicle in Ras Naqura, near a rubbish dump" south of a United Nations peacekeeping position, the National News Agency (NNA) said.

"Two siblings who were collecting scrap metal" were wounded and taken to hospital, it added.

Wednesday's strikes come a day after Israel's army said it killed a Hezbollah navy commander in the south, accusing the slain militant of violating the November 27 ceasefire.

The truce largely halted more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war during which Israel sent in ground troops.

Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Lebanese territory since the agreement took effect.
