Summary
Two people were killed Thursday when an Israeli drone struck a car in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese medical and security sources.
The attack marked a second straight day of deadly strikes despite last week's U.S.-Iran interim deal, which was meant to end hostilities on all fronts including Lebanon.
Israeli and Lebanese officials also denied a U.S. State Department claim that Israel had already withdrawn from part of its occupied southern Lebanon buffer zone as a good-faith step.
Lebanese military and security officials said there was no visible pullback on the ground, with Israeli forces still enforcing the zone and blocking approaches, including by Lebanese troops.
