Two people were killed and one critically injured in the Israeli strike on Debbin (Marjayoun), according to L'Orient Today's correspondent in the south.

The drone strike targeted a house, as the Israeli army continues striking south Lebanon despite a cease-fire implemented on Nov. 27. 

Since then, at least 22 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, mainly using drones, in south Lebanon. 

Earlier, artillery shells targeted Beit Lif (Bint Jbeil), while during the night, locals in Bint Jbeil reported heavy gunfire targeting residential homes from an Israeli force stationed on the southern outskirts of the city of Bint Jbeil. During the night, explosions were also heard, which were later confirmed to be the demolitions of houses by the Israeli army in Khiam.

The Israeli army stated that forces from the 7th Brigade patrolling in the south destroyed "Hezbollah weapon depots in southern Lebanon," without mentioning where.  

According to a statement by the Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee, the depots contained hundreds of anti-tank rockets, mortars, grenades and a vehicle equipped with a rocket launcher. The statement added that the forces destroyed Hezbollah tunnels leading to underground infrastructure.

And during the day, Hezbollah and its supporters laid 77 fighters to rest across nine southern Lebanese towns.

Massive funeral processions were held in Hariss, Aita al-Jabal, Haddatha, Shaqra, Beit Yahoun, Mansouri, Majdal Zoun, Froun and Kounin.

Up North, Israeli jets have been flying over Tripoli. They have been doing that since Saturday night after people started celebrating the rebels taking Homs.
