Israeli strikes kill two in Lebanon despite ceasefire extension

Lebanon's health ministry said Israeli fire killed two people on Monday and wounded 17 others in the south in a second day of violence as residents tried again to return to border villages.

The ministry said Israeli fire killed 24 returnees on Sunday.

The strikes came after Israel and Hezbollah extended a ceasefire until 18 February. 

Speaking on Monday, Naim Qassem, the head of Hezbollah, said Israel had violated the agreement 1,350 times.
