Israeli strike on Lebanon kills couple, says Lebanese media

An Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed a husband and wife on Monday, including a man who lost his eyesight in Israel's pager attack last year, according to Lebanese state media.

Israel has kept up near daily attacks on Lebanon, despite a November ceasefire following more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah.

It has also kept troops in five areas of south Lebanon that it deems strategic.

Israel did not immediately comment on the strike.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) identified the man as Hassan Atwi, who was wounded and lost his sight when Israel blew up hundreds of pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah members last year.

His wife, Zainab Raslan who was driving, was also killed.

According to the NNA, the couple had two sons killed during the year-long war.

In a statement, the Lebanese health ministry said that "an Israeli drone strike targeted a car on the Zebdine road in the Nabatiyeh district" in south Lebanon, killing two people and wounding one other.

Last week, the United Nations said it had verified the deaths of 103 civilians in Lebanon since the November truce, demanding a halt to the Israeli attacks.
