BEIRUT, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Three people were killed on Monday in two Israeli drone strikes on southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese sources.

In one strike targeting the Dardara road, "two Syrian nationals riding a motorcycle were killed, and a Lebanese citizen was injured," Lebanon's official National News Agency reported.

A Lebanese security source told Xinhua that two air-to-ground missiles were fired at a civilian Rapid-type vehicle and a motorcycle on the road.

The Syrian nationals were identified as Shawakh Mohammad Al-Taha and Hammoud Khalaf Al-Qash, and the Lebanese, critically injured, was identified as Alaa Nasser, the source said.

Another Israeli drone strike launched earlier in the day on the village of Taybeh killed one person, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry.

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
