BEIRUT, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed and two others injured on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike that targeted an excavator and a vehicle in the western sector of southern Lebanon, the official Lebanese National News Agency reported.

It said that an Israeli drone targeted a land reclamation excavator and a vehicle between the town of Zebqine and the village of Al-Shaaitiyeh in the Tyre district, "with initial reports indicating casualties."

"The strike on Zebqine, which targeted the excavator and the vehicle, resulted in two martyrs and injuries to two Syrian workers," the report added.

A Lebanese security source told Xinhua that the two killed during the Israeli strike were identified as Ali Salibi and Adnan Bazi.

Since Nov. 27, 2024, a ceasefire agreement between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel has been in effect, putting an end to more than a year of hostilities triggered by the war in Gaza.

Despite the agreement, the Israeli military occasionally carries out strikes in Lebanon, claiming that the operations target Hezbollah "threats." Enditem
