Four people were killed on Tuesday in successive Israeli strikes targeting three vehicles in southern Lebanon, according to the National News Agency, while the Israeli army said it had intercepted Hezbollah rockets and responded with strikes.
The National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone targeted two vehicles in the town of Mayfadoun in the Nabatieh district, and a third vehicle in the neighbouring town of Shawkin, resulting in "according to an initial toll, the death of four citizens and a number of wounded."
The Israeli army announced that it carried out an airstrike in southern Lebanon after detecting a suspicious vehicle in an area where its soldiers were present, without specifying the location.
It indicated that its forces intercepted several rockets fired at Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon, adding: "Shortly thereafter, the Israeli Air Force bombed and destroyed a launcher from which a number of rockets had been fired."
Hezbollah issued no statement on Tuesday claiming attacks on Israeli targets in southern Lebanon.
Although the intensity of strikes in Lebanon had diminished following Monday's announcement of an agreement between the United States and Iran to end the war in the Middle East, at least five people have been killed in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon since then, according to the National News Agency.
Some residents of the south began returning to check on their towns and villages, but the Lebanese army urged residents to delay their return, citing the "danger of Israeli violations and attacks."
3,826 people have been killed since the war in Lebanon broke out, according to the latest figures from the Ministry of Health.
The war erupted after Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel in response to the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the first US-Israeli strikes on Iran on 28 February. Israel responded with an extensive campaign of airstrikes and a ground invasion.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that ending the war would not be complete "without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied in this war."
Speaking at a meeting with foreign diplomats broadcast on state television, he added: "Any military attack by the Zionist entity on Lebanon from now on, and the continued occupation of Lebanese territory from now on, will be considered a violation of the memorandum of understanding from our point of view."
Iran's armed forces also threatened on Tuesday to retaliate against Israel over its recent strikes in southern Lebanon. The Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, the central command of the armed forces, said: "If the army of the child-killing Zionist regime does not put an end to its aggressive actions in southern Lebanon, it should expect a severe response from Iran's powerful armed forces."
It added that Israel had violated the ceasefire in Lebanon "84 times" since the agreement was announced.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that Israeli forces would remain in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria "for as long as necessary."
