Israel has violated the truce on a near-daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>France\u2019s Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs also condemned \u201cthe Israeli fire that targeted a UNIFIL detachment\u201d and noted that the incidents followed similar attacks on October 1, 2 and 11.<\/p>\n<p>Dujarric said: \u201cIt\u2019s not the first time that we feel we\u2019ve been targeted in different ways by the [Israeli army, including] pointing lasers or warning shots. He said his colleagues at UNIFIL were in touch with the Israeli military to \u201cprotest vehemently\u201d against the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, UNIFIL reported an Israeli drone flying over its patrol in an \u201caggressive manner\u201d, saying its peacekeepers \u201capplied necessary defensive countermeasures to neutralise the drone\u201d. No injuries or damage were reported.<\/p>\n<p>Israel still occupies five positions in southern Lebanon and has been launching near-daily attacks in defiance of the ceasefire. At least two brothers were killed in a strike on the village of al-Bayyad in the Tyre district on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The Lebanese official news agency ANI said that the two were killed in an attack on a sawmill in al-Bayyad.<\/p>\n<p>Three people were killed on Sunday in raids on southern and eastern Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>The military says that it is targeting members of Hezbollah and its infrastructure, but Lebanese leaders have accused it of attempting to obstruct reconstruction by striking machinery like diggers and bulldozers.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli army said that its Sunday attacks targeted an arms dealer working for Hezbollah and another man who was \u201caiding the group\u2019s attempts to rebuild its capacity for military action\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah, severely weakened by Israel\u2019s attacks, has said it is ready to defend itself. \u201cThe possibility of war exists but is uncertain; it depends on their calculations,\u201d said Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem in reference to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The United States government has been pressuring Lebanon to have the group surrender its arms to the country\u2019s army.<\/p>\n<p>US Middle East envoy Morgan Ortagus arrived late on Monday in Beirut, where she is scheduled to meet Lebanese leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UN spokesman says incident involved a drone dropping a grenade near a patrol, and a tank opening fire on peacekeepers.
