BEIRUT — Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed nine people including three members of the Lebanese military, the Lebanese army and state media said, days after the two sides reached a new ceasefire deal.

An airstrike on a vehicle on a road linking the city of Nabatiyeh with the town of Marjayoun killed a brigadier general, a captain and another soldier, the army said, without immediately releasing their names.
Another airstrike on the southern village of Saksakiyah killed six people and wounded four, state-run National News Agency said.
"The continued, deliberate, and repeated Israeli aggression against Lebanon, its people and its army only strengthens our resolve, faith and determination," the army said in its statement.
It said Israel's attacks aim to thwart all efforts "to reach a solution that would restore stability, establish a comprehensive ceasefire and lead to the Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Lebanese territories."
The Israeli military confirmed hitting a vehicle and said the incident is being reviewed.
The statement added that the vehicle was "moving suspiciously" toward Israeli soldiers near the village of Kfar Tibnit, after the military received "concrete indications" that Hezbollah would direct fire toward Israeli soldiers from the same area.
The military said that it operates against Hezbollah and not against the Lebanese army.
Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun called the strike "a flagrant violation to Lebanese sovereignty and international law."
He said it came in the context of "ongoing escalation that threatens stability and security in the south (of Lebanon), despite the efforts Lebanon is exerting in the Washington negotiations to put an end to the ongoing Israeli attacks without deterrent."
The latest ceasefire announced in Washington came about through U.S.-brokered talks between Israel and Lebanon's government, which accuses Hezbollah of dragging the country into war and had made efforts to disarm it before the latest hostilities.
Hezbollah has refused the truce.
On Friday, Aoun and Lebanon's prime minister criticized Iran for opposing the latest ceasefire deal between the Lebanese government and Israel, saying their country should not be used by Tehran as a "bargaining chip" in its talks with Washington.

The war began on March 2, when Hezbollah fired rockets at northern Israel, two days after Israel and the U.S. began their attacks on Iran.
Israel has since launched a ground invasion of Lebanon and carried out wide attacks that have displaced more than 1 million people.
Israeli troops have seized around a fifth of Lebanon, pushing further into the country's south than at any time since the end of Israel's 1982-2000 occupation.
More than 3,500 people have been killed in Lebanon since the war began.
The fighting has killed at least 29 Israeli soldiers and three civilians.
