BEIRUT: An Israeli tank fired two rounds into the southern Lebanese town of Markaba on Thursday, two Lebanese security sources said, 24 hours after a ceasefire barring “offensive military operations” came into force.
One of the security sources said two people were wounded. Lebanon’s state news agency said two people were wounded and transferred to hospital after an Israeli attack on the town, without specifying the type of attack.
A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah took effect on Wednesday under a deal brokered by the US and France, allowing people in both countries to start returning to homes in border areas shattered by 14 months of fighting.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah and Israel on the tank rounds.
The agreement, a rare diplomatic feat in a region racked by conflict, ended the deadliest confrontation between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group in years. But Israel is still fighting its other arch foe, the Palestinian militant group Hamas, in the Gaza Strip.
