Two people were killed and an army soldier was injured in three Israeli attacks in Lebanon on Monday despite a cease-fire deal between the two countries, local media said.

An Israeli drone fired two missiles into a motorcycle in Jdaidet Marjeyoun area in southern Lebanon, leaving one person dead, the state news agency NNA reported.

The Lebanese State Security Directorate said that a security personnel was killed in a drone strike in Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.

In a statement, the directorate called the attack “a blatant violation of the cease-fire agreement,” and “a dangerous escalation.”

An army soldier was also injured when another drone strike targeted a Lebanese bulldozer while carrying out some work inside the Abbara military site in the Hosh Sayyed Ali-Hermel area in eastern Lebanon, NNA said.

The attacks came shortly after the army said that the body of a Lebanese officer who had been unaccounted for since Nov. 26 after an Israeli airstrike was found in Naqoura town in southern Lebanon

Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, for his part, asked the committee supervising the cease-fire with Israel to oblige Tel Aviv to stop its violations of the deal and withdraw from the Lebanese territories.

    I see Israel read The Art Of The Deal.

    Make an agreement and then after you get what you want, don’t honor your side of the deal. That’s business!
