BEIRUT, Lebanon, May 7, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - An Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in Lebanon's southern city of Sidon killed one person on Wednesday, Lebanese state media reported.

At dawn, a drone targeted a car "near Imam Ali Mosque in the city of Sidon, resulting in the death of an individual", the National News Agency said.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Israel has continued to launch regular strikes in Lebanon despite the November 27 truce which sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah including two months of full-blown war.

Under the deal, Hezbollah was to pull back its fighters north of Lebanon's Litani River, some 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the Israeli border, and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure to its south.

Israel was to withdraw all its forces from Lebanon, but it has kept troops in five positions that it deems "strategic".

A Lebanese security source told AFP that Hezbollah had withdrawn fighters from south of the Litani and dismantled most of its military infrastructure in that area.

Lebanon says it has respected its commitments and has called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its attacks and withdraw from the five border positions.
