A second Hezbollah guerrilla was killed in Lebanon by Israeli forces Monday afternoon after a UN-brokered ceasefire went into effect in the morning, the Israeli army said.

The man was shot when he attempted to approach Israeli troops near the village of Ghanduriya, the army said without giving other details.

Earlier in the day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that it shot dead a Hezbollah militant in the central part of south Lebanon, the first such one following ceasefire in Lebanon.

An IDF spokeswoman told Xinhua that Israeli soldiers opened fire at the militant and killed him when the man was approaching to their post.

The UN-brokered Israel-Lebanon cease-fire took into force at 8:00 a.m. (0500 GMT) on Monday morning following both Israeli and Lebanese approval.
