NextImg:1 killed, 1 hurt in separate Israeli strikes in south Lebanon, officials say

An Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed one person on Saturday, according to Lebanese officials, the latest attack despite a ceasefire between Israel and the terror group Hezbollah.

An “Israeli enemy drone strike on a vehicle” in Bint Jbeil “killed one person and wounded two others,” Lebanon’s health ministry said in a statement carried by the official National News Agency (NNA), noting the toll was provisional.

Earlier, the ministry reported that a separate Israeli drone strike wounded one person in Shebaa, elsewhere in the south, with the NNA saying that the raid targeted a house.

There was no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces.

On Thursday, an IDF airstrike near the village of Sil, near Beirut, killed Qassem Al-Husseini, a Lebanese operative affiliated with Iran’s Quds Force.

According to the IDF, he was advancing terror plots against Israel along the northern border. He played a central role in smuggling weapons from Iran through Syria into Lebanon and the West Bank, working closely with Syrian and Lebanese arms dealers.

While a ceasefire deal was reached between Israel and Hezbollah in November, Israel has continued to strike Lebanon, saying it reserves the right under the agreement to act against imminent threats by Hezbollah. Jerusalem has also accused Beirut of not doing enough to disarm the terror group.

The agreement required Hezbollah to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli frontier.

The IDF was to withdraw from all of Lebanon, to be replaced by the Lebanese army and international peacekeepers, but has kept troops in five points Israel deems strategic.

Unprovoked, Hezbollah began launching near-daily attacks on Israel on October 8, 2023, a day after fellow Iran-backed terror group Hamas stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gaza.

Hezbollah’s rocket fire displaced some 60,000 residents of northern Israel. In a bid to ensure their safe return home, Israel stepped up operations in Lebanon in September, decimating Hezbollah’s leadership. According to a recent Saudi report, between 2,000 and 4,000 were killed in the war, and another 2,000 deserted after Israel killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

In the wake of the war, Hezbollah is reportedly contemplating partial disarmament. Israel says any future peace talks with Lebanon are contingent upon Hezbollah’s disarmament.
