An Israeli drone strike killed one person in south Lebanon as air raids, sound bombs, and low-altitude flights continued despite an existing ceasefire agreement.
An Israeli drone strike targeting a civilian vehicle on the outskirts of Siddiqin, in the Tyre district, killed one person on Friday, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
The NNA reported that the strike hit a car outside the town, confirming one fatality. The Lebanese Ministry of Health later issued a statement corroborating the news.
In a separate escalation, Israeli occupation aircraft launched a series of air raids on Wadi Azza and in the vicinity of the villages of Al-Zahrani, injuring two people, according to the Lebanese news platform Al Mayadeen.

The strikes reportedly targeted a drilling rig maintenance facility in the Daoudieh area, near Al-Zahrani in south Lebanon.
According to the NNA, Israeli drones have also been flying at low altitude over Beirut and its southern suburbs, while another drone was recorded operating at low altitude over Al-Zahrani and surrounding villages. The persistent aerial activity has heightened anxiety among residents across multiple regions.
Further reporting by the NNA indicated that Israeli drones carried out additional attacks in south Lebanon, including the area between Markaba and Adaysseh, where a sound bomb was deployed on Friday afternoon. Earlier in the day, Israeli drones dropped sound bombs over Khiam and Aita al-Shaab, while Israeli artillery shelled the area between Maroun al-Ras and Aitaroun with a number of flares.

Israeli Claims
According to Al-Jazeera, the Israeli occupation army claimed responsibility for the strike on Siddiqin, alleging that the target was a Hezbollah operative involved in repairing military infrastructure. Lebanese authorities have not confirmed this claim.
The raid is part of a broader pattern of repeated Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty since last November.
These developments come despite a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on November 27, 2024, which stipulated the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese border villages and towns within 60 days. The deadline was later extended by the Lebanese government until February 18, 2025.
Despite the agreement, Israeli occupation forces remain stationed at five border points, while Lebanese officials report more than 7,000 airspace violations and over 2,400 military activities within the UNIFIL area of operations in southern Lebanon.
