In a preliminary toll, the ministry said that an "Israeli enemy strike on the town of Doueir in Nabatiyeh province killed one person and wounded seven others."
The second strike on Aita al-Shaab in the same province also killed one person, according to the ministry.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone targeted a car in Doueir, causing it to catch fire.
An AFP photographer at the scene witnessed firefighters extinguishing the flames in the targeted vehicle and around five other damaged cars.
He also saw workers removing shattered glass from shops damaged by the blast.
The NNA said that the strike caused damage to a local shopping centre.
Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon, killing and wounding hundreds of civilians, despite a November 2024 ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, escalating attacks in recent days.
On Saturday, four people were killed in an Israeli strike on a car in Nabatiyeh province, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
On Friday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Israel of responding to his offer to negotiate by intensifying its air strikes.
