The Israeli military said it targeted three members of the "Iran-backed Hezbollah group" in strikes on southern Lebanon yesterday.

The Lebanese health ministry said that two people had been killed in separate Israeli strikes in the south of the country, which came despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

"Since this morning (yesterday), the IDF (military) has struck three Hezbollah terrorists in several areas in southern Lebanon," the Israeli military said in a statement.

The deal sought to end fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
