BEIRUT, Lebanon, Nov 17, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - An Israeli strike killed a Lebanese man in the south of the country on Sunday, according to the Lebanese health ministry and the country's main news agency.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to an AFP query, but has previously said it reserves to right to strike militant targets in Lebanon it deems a threat.

The ministry said the strike hit a car in the town of al-Mansouri, south of Tyre and just over 10 kilometres (six miles) from the Israeli border, and "resulted in the martyrdom of a citizen".

A report from Lebanon's National News Agency identified the deceased as Mohammed Shoueikh and said he was a school principal in al-Mansouri.

In November last year, Lebanon and Israel agreed a ceasefire to end more than a year of fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah militia, which broke out after the start of the Gaza war.

Under the deal, Israel was to withdraw its forces from south Lebanon, but it has kept them at five areas it deems strategic.

It has also carried out regular strikes on targets in Lebanon, arguing it is hitting Hezbollah sites and operatives.
