Hezbollah: Israeli strike on Lebanon kills two

No fewer than two people were killed after the Israeli military said it had struck several Hezbollah targets overnight in the Bekaa Valley and along the Syrian-Lebanese border.
The Lebanese Health Ministry disclosed this on Friday.
The Israeli army, in a statement, said that the targets included a facility used for underground weapons development and another linked to arms smuggling into Lebanon from neighbouring Syria.
According to Lebanon’s health ministry, at least 10 people were also wounded.
Hezbollah official Ibrahim Moussawi condemned the air raids, calling them a very dangerous violation and a blatant and explicit aggression.
Moussawi, therefore, called on the Lebanese state to halt Israel’s attacks.
DAILY POST reports that the strikes were the latest by Israel in Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreement reached in late November between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah that ended more than a year of fighting between the two heavily-armed foes.
The agreement demanded the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, adding that all unauthorized arms and military infrastructure should be dismantled, starting with southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah, however, has insisted that the agreement applies exclusively to southern Lebanon.
The deal also called for Israeli troops to leave southern Lebanon within 60 days, however, the period was extended this week to February 18 to give more time for Israeli troops to pull out and for Lebanese troops to deploy to the area.
Israel accused Lebanon of not yet fully implemented the deal’s terms, alleging that Hezbollah was violating the ceasefire.
Israel on Thursday said it intercepted a surveillance drone launched by Hezbollah, calling it a breach of the ceasefire agreement.
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem, however, said on Monday that his group would not accept any justification to extend the deadline for Israeli troops to withdraw, adding that the group has not directly threatened to resume military operations.
