A commander from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group and his daughter were killed early Monday in an Israeli air strike targeting an apartment on the outskirts of Baalbek in eastern Lebanon, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported.

President Trump announced the truce last month, but Israel and Hezbollah have continued to exchange fire since then.

Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 45-day extension of a ceasefire U.S. President Donald Trump declared on April 16, the U.S. State Department said on Friday.

Lebanon reportedly filed a precedent-setting UN complaint against Iran amid U.S.-facilitated Israel-Lebanon normalization talks in Washington, D.C.
