At least five people were killed in Israeli air strikes and drone attacks in southern Lebanon on Saturday, according to Lebanese state media. The report came just hours after a ceasefire between ⁠Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group took effect.

State news agency NNA said Israeli warplanes and drones carried out a series of strikes across the Nabatieh area overnight and into Saturday morning, destroying residential buildings and homes, while ‌Israeli ⁠artillery shelled Nabatieh and its outskirts before dawn.

Israel and Hezbollah agreed to the ceasefire on Friday following an escalation ⁠in hostilities in Lebanon, according to a US official.
