Three people were killed and 6 others were wounded Monday in Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, despite an ongoing ceasefire, Anadolu reports.

State news agency NNA said 2 people were killed and 5 others were wounded in an airstrike in the village of Ebba in Nabatieh.

In a separate incident, a drone attack on a car in the village of Haris in Bint Jbeil killed one person and wounded his brother, the agency said.

Israeli warplanes also targeted the home of a former municipal mayor in Sajd, while another attack was reported in Kfar Rumman. There were no immediate reports of casualties from those countries.

The Israeli military continues to carry out daily attacks in Lebanon and exchange fire with Hezbollah, despite a ceasefire in effect since April 17, which was later extended until mid-May.

Since March 2, Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed 2,846 people, wounded 8,693 and displaced more than 1 million, according to the latest official figures.

The escalation comes as the United States of America prepares to host peace talks between the two countries in Washington on May 14-15.
