Israeli strikes wounded 24 people in south Lebanon Tuesday despite a ceasefire in force for more than six weeks, the Lebanese health ministry said.

The first strike hit the southern town of Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa, wounding 20 people, the ministry said, updating a previous toll of 14 injured.

It added that another strike on the neighbouring town of Zawtar wounded four people.

At around 7:30 pm, an Israeli drone carried out "a strike with a guided missile targeting a small vegetable truck" in Nabatiyeh al-Fawqa, the state-run National News Agency reported.

The town lies north of the Litani River but only around 10 kilometres (seven miles) from the Israeli border.

NNA later reported a second strike "less than two kilometres (a little over a mile) away from the first strike" on the Zawtar-Nabatiyeh road.

Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the strikes, calling them "another violation of Lebanese sovereignty and a blatant breach of the ceasefire arrangement," according to a statement from his office.

He added that he had contacted the head of the ceasefire monitoring committee, US Major General Jasper Jeffers, and urged him "to take a firm stance to ensure Israel complies with its obligations under international law".

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee confirmed the strikes, saying they targeted Hezbollah vehicles transferring weapons in south Lebanon.
