Associated Press

Israel carried out intense air strikes on southern Lebanon early on Saturday, killing one person, wounding seven and briefly cutting a highway that linked Beirut with southern parts of the country, the Health Ministry said.
The predawn air strikes on the village of Msayleh struck a place that sold heavy machinery, destroying a large number of vehicles.
A vehicle carrying vegetables that happened to be passing by at the time of the strikes was hit, killing one person and wounding another, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV.
The Health Ministry later said that the one slain was a Syrian citizen, while the wounded were a Syrian national and six Lebanese, including two women.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned Israel on Saturday for carrying out strikes on civilian facilities.
“Once again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a heinous Israeli aggression against civilian installations – without justification or pretext,” Aoun said.
“The seriousness of this latest attack lies in the fact that it comes after the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.”

The Israeli military said it struck a place where machinery was stored to be used to rebuild infrastructure for the militant Hezbollah group.
Since the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war ended in late November with a US-brokered ceasefire, Israel has carried out almost daily air strikes, killing dozens of people.
Israel accuses Hezbollah of trying to rebuild its capabilities after the group suffered heavy losses during the war.
Earlier this month, the UN human rights chief, Volker Turk, called for renewed efforts to bring a permanent end to hostilities in Lebanon following the war.
He said that until the end of September, they had verified 103 civilians killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire.

The most recent Israel-Hezbollah war killed more than 4,000 people in Lebanon, including hundreds of civilians, and caused an estimated US$11 billion worth of destruction, according to the World Bank. In Israel, 127 people died, including 80 soldiers.
The war started when Hezbollah began firing rockets across the border on October 8, 2023, a day after a deadly Hamas-led incursion into southern Israel sparked the war in Gaza.
Israel responded with shelling and air strikes in Lebanon, and the two sides became locked in an escalating conflict that became a full-blown war in late September last year.
