BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, March 17 (Xinhua) -- One person was killed and three others injured on Monday in an Israeli drone strike targeting a van in the town of Yohmor, southern Lebanon, Lebanon's Public Health Emergency Operations Center said in a statement.

A Lebanese security source told Xinhua that an Israeli drone fired two air-to-ground missiles at a vehicle in central Yohmor of the Nabatieh Governorate, "resulting in multiple casualties, including one fatality, and causing material damage to a nearby shop and motorcycle."

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that the strike targeted two Hezbollah militants who "served as observation operatives and directed terrorist activities."

Israel's state-owned Kan TV reported that at least one Hezbollah fighter was killed.

The strike was the latest in a series of Israeli airstrikes since a truce took effect in November, following months of cross-border fighting between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.

Although the ceasefire agreement mandated the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory, Israel has maintained its military presence at five key border locations beyond the February 18 deadline and has carried out dozens of attacks in Lebanon, claiming they are necessary to neutralize Hezbollah threats.
