Lebanese state media said an Israeli strike on a motorcycle in the south killed one person on Friday, despite the start of a 10-day ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war.

“A motorcyclist was killed in the town of Kunin, in the Bint Jbeil district, after being targeted by an enemy drone,” Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.

Under the terms of the truce, Israel reserves the right to continue targeting Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah to prevent “planned, imminent or ongoing attacks”. It also said it will maintain a 10-kilometre (six-mile) security zone along the border in southern Lebanon.
