An Israeli drone strike on a car in southern Lebanon has killed four people, including a headteacher, Lebanese state media says.
Israel's military said the car had approached a security zone and had been deemed a threat. It is the deadliest Israeli attack since the announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon last month.
There has been a fragile calm since then, although Israel continues to carry out sporadic strikes, accusing Iran-backed Hezbollah of violating the deal.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that, apart from the headteacher, the victims included her mother, a female foreign domestic worker and a male Syrian worker.
It said the three women and the man were returning after visiting their family home in the town of Nabatieh al-Fawqa when a "drone launched a strike with a guided missile", killing them instantly.
The Israeli military said the suspects had posed a threat to its soldiers. "Following identification, the Israeli Air Force conducted a precise strike in order to remove the threat."
