Hezbollah said it had repelled an Israeli force that was trying to “advance” in southern Lebanon, despite the US-Iran agreement to end the Middle East war on all fronts including in Lebanon, reports AFP.

Fighters from the group “using rockets and drones” blocked an Israeli force consisting of an excavator and two Merkava tanks that was “advancing” in the vicinity of Kfar Tebnit town near the southern city of Nabatieh, Hezbollah said in a statement.

Earlier today, an Israeli drone targeted a car in the same area “killing its driver”, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported, marking the first reported deadly strike since the agreement was announced.
