BEIRUT, Lebanon, Sept 15, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - The Lebanese health ministry said one person was killed on Sunday in an Israeli strike in the south of the country, where Israel frequently targets Hezbollah.

"A raid by the Israeli enemy on a car in the town of Burj Qalawiyah killed one person," the ministry said in a statement.

On Friday, the ministry said one person was killed in an Israeli strike in the town of Aitaroun, also in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military has continued to strike Iran-backed Hezbollah despite a ceasefire last November that ended more than a year of hostilities between them.

Under pressure from the United States and fearing an escalation of Israeli strikes, the Lebanese government is now moving to disarm Hezbollah.

The group, which previously dominated Lebanese politics and was thought to be better armed than the military, was severely weakened by the war with Israel.

According to Beirut, the Lebanese army must complete its disarmament of Hezbollah in areas near the Israeli border within three months.
