JAKARTA - One person was killed in an Israeli drone strike on the southern Lebanese border city, Aita al-Shaab. The attack came after a day's deadline for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon.

Reported by Reuters on Wednesday, February 19, the Israeli military said they were attacking the border city to target the person described as the Hezbollah operation that handles weapons in the area.

February 18 is the deadline for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from cities in southern Lebanon under a US-mediated ceasefire agreement.

Israeli officials say some troops will temporarily remain in five positions across the border, a move they deem important to national security.

Hezbollah, who suffered heavy losses during the war, said Israel still occupied Lebanese land and considered the Lebanese government responsible for the withdrawal of all Israeli troops.

Israel was due to withdraw on January 26, but was extended to February 18 after Israel accused Lebanon of failing to enforce the provision.

Lebanon at the time accused Israel of delaying its withdrawal.

Lebanese Health Ministry also said two people were injured by Israeli fire in the southern city of Al-Wazzani.
