CAIRO – An Israeli strike on a car wounded three people, including a seven-year-old child, on Nov 30 in the south Lebanon village of Majdal Zoun, the Lebanese Health Ministry said in a statement.

Later on the same day, another person was injured in a separate Israeli strike on Al Bisariya, which lies near the southern Lebanese city of Sidon, the ministry said.

The Israeli military said it had attacked a Hezbollah facility in Sidon that housed rocket launchers for the armed group.

It added that it had also hit a vehicle in southern Lebanon loaded with rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and military equipment as part of its actions against ceasefire violations.

A truce came into effect on Nov 27,

but both sides have accused each other of breaching a ceasefire that aims to halt over a year of fighting. REUTERS
