The Israeli air force attacked several targets in Lebanon, including a car during rush hour near Beirut, DPA reported, quoted by BTA.
A reporter for the agency reported that two rockets hit a highway south of Beirut while there were many cars on the road. Shortly afterwards, smoke was seen coming from the charred remains of a car on the side of the road.
One person was killed and three were injured, Lebanon's health ministry said.
The Israeli military said it had "eliminated a terrorist" near the Lebanese capital who worked for the Quds Force, part of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The Israeli military says he smuggled weapons for the foreign branch of Iran's elite military forces and was responsible for terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers.
An attack in such heavy traffic and so close to the capital is unusual, DPA noted.
Shortly afterwards, the Israeli military confirmed the attack on Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces said the targets were military sites, including weapons depots belonging to the Lebanese group "Hezbollah" in the south.
Lebanon had earlier reported a series of attacks in the south of the country.
Israel and the Iranian-backed "Hezbollah" signed a ceasefire in November last year after more than six months of mutual rocket attacks.
According to the agreement, the Lebanese group's fighters must withdraw behind the Litani River, about 30 kilometers north of the Israeli-Lebanese border.
However, the Israeli army attacks Lebanon almost daily, with attacks mainly targeting villages in the south and east of the country. DPA recalls.
Four pro-Palestinian activists were remanded in custody by order of a London court, the Associated Press reported, quoted by BTA.
The detention order was imposed at the first hearing of the defendants' case.
They are accused of damaging two British Air Force aircraft on June 20. The damage was caused with crowbars and is worth around £7 million.
The four men, aged 22 to 35, have been charged with conspiracy to commit criminal damage and conspiracy to enter a prohibited place with the intention of causing harm to the interests of the United Kingdom.
The prosecution said it would urge the court to recognise that the defendants' actions had a "terrorism connection".
The Palestinian movement "Hamas" is trying to ensure that a new US ceasefire proposal in the Gaza Strip will lead to an end to the war, the group said last night, quoted by Reuters and BTA.
Israeli authorities said the prospects for reaching a ceasefire agreement and a deal for hostages look good, nearly 21 months after the start of the war between Israel and "Hamas".
Efforts to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip increased after the US secured a ceasefire in the 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, but at the same time Israeli strikes on Gaza continued with unabated force, killing at least 59 people yesterday, health authorities in the territory reported.
Yesterday, US President Donald Trump said that Israel had accepted the terms of finalizing a 60-day ceasefire agreement with "Hamas", according to during which the two sides will work to end the war permanently.
"Hamas" is seeking clear guarantees that the ceasefire will lead to an end to the war, the group said. Two senior Israeli officials said details were yet to be worked out.
In a statement early this morning, "Hamas" said it was discussing the ceasefire proposal with other Palestinian groups and would respond to the mediators as soon as the discussions were concluded.
Egyptian and Qatari mediators are working to secure US and international guarantees that talks to end the war will continue - as a way to convince "Hamas" to accept the proposed two-month ceasefire, Egyptian security sources said.
A senior Israeli official close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said preparations were underway to approve the agreement. Another source added that Israel expected a response from "Hamas" by Friday and that if it was positive, the Israeli delegation would engage in indirect talks to sign an agreement.
The proposal includes the gradual release of 10 living Israeli hostages and the return of the bodies of 18 deceased in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails. Of the fifty remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza, 20 are believed to still be alive.
Humanitarian aid would be allowed into the Gaza Strip immediately, and the Israeli military would gradually withdraw from the enclave.
