Authorities reported eight people killed in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Saturday, with more raids targeting a highway south of Beirut outside Hezbollah's traditional strongholds and far from the centre of ongoing fighting. The fresh attacks came in spite of a three-week-old ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah that has done little to halt daily exchanges of fire, mostly in south Lebanon. Hezbollah said Saturday that it had targeted troops in northern Israel with a drone in response to the continued strikes.
