One person was killed and two others were injured on Saturday in an Israeli drone strike targeting the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa in southern Lebanon, Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health said.
The ministry's Public Health Emergency Operations Center said in a statement that the strike hit the Farah Amusement Park junction in Nabatieh al-Fawqa, leaving one person dead and two others wounded.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the attack was carried out by an Israeli drone.
The strike came a day after Lebanon and Israel signed a U.S.-brokered framework agreement in Washington aimed at achieving lasting peace and security and laying the groundwork for a broader peace process. Despite the agreement, Israeli strikes and military operations have continued in southern Lebanon.
Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed 4,246 people and injured 12,190 others since March 2, according to the Public Health Emergency Operations Center.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Saturday that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed the Israeli military to prepare for an extended stay in the "security zone" in southern Lebanon.
He stressed that Israel is not withdrawing from Lebanon and is maintaining the "security zone" in southern Lebanon, "free of residents and terrorist infrastructure," while preserving the military's freedom of action to thwart threats.
Katz noted that the important principle stipulated in the agreement is that there will be no Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon as long as Hezbollah is not disarmed.
He also warned that if Iran attempts to attack Israel to prevent the implementation of the agreement, Israel would respond with great force and "illustrate the power gaps that exist between us."
