The health ministry said on Saturday that Israeli strikes killed six people in southern Lebanon, 10 days into a ceasefire between the Hezbollah and Israel.

"The Israeli enemy's air strike on the town of Beit Lif resulted in the martyrdom of five people and the injury of five others," a health ministry statement said, adding that in a separate incident a drone strike killed one person in Deir Seryan.

Earlier Saturday, the Israeli military said it struck a Hezbollah militant in southern Lebanon, one of multiple operations against "activities... that posed a threat" to Israel.

"In one case, the (military) identified a Hezbollah terrorist who posed a threat to the troops deployed in southern Lebanon in violation" of the ceasefire, the military said, adding the air force "struck the terrorist".

The National News Agency (NNA) reported that "an enemy drone targeted a motorcycle in Deir Seryan"

Both Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah face accusations of having  breached the truce that took effect on November 27 to end a war that has killed thousands in Lebanon and sparked mass displacements on both sides.
