Four people were killed by an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon on Monday, Lebanon's state news agency reported, testing a fragile ceasefire in the conflict between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel.
The Israeli military said it was checking the report.
Lebanon has suffered the deadliest spillover of the U.S.-Iran conflict since the Lebanese group Hezbollah opened fire in support of Tehran on March 2, triggering an Israeli offensive and invasion of southern Lebanon.
After several ceasefire announcements since April, violence abated significantly last month, as Iran insisted on its demand for a Lebanon ceasefire in talks with the U.S., and as Israel scaled back attacks in Lebanon at Washington's behest.
Lebanese security sources said Monday's strike marked the deadliest Israeli attack in several weeks.
Ali al-Taher, the strategic ridge overlooking Nabatieh, was the site of a fresh Israeli military operation Thursday evening, with the army saying it destroyed "more than two kilometers of Hezbollah underground infrastructure" beneath the height, located north of the Litani River, roughly 15 kilometers from the Israeli border.
The U.S. government announced new sanctions on Thursday against firms and individuals that it says are aiding Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies in the Middle East as it intensified its campaign to isolate Iran economically.
Pakistan has delivered a Saudi warning to Iran to rein in its Yemeni Houthi allies after they stepped up attacks on the kingdom, in a coordinated effort to prevent the crisis from spiralling, Saudi, Pakistani and Iranian sources said.
