Lebanese media said an Israeli strike on a vehicle in southern Lebanon on Tuesday killed one person, whom an Israeli official was said to have described as a “central” Hezbollah terror group operative.

The Israel Defense Forces had no immediate comment on the matter.

“An enemy drone launched a strike” targeting a vehicle in the Tyre district, killing one person, Lebanese state media said, publishing an mage of a burning, mangled car.

On Telegram, Hebrew-language journalist Doron Kadosh quoted an Israeli official saying that the strike took out “a central figure” in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, the terror group’s unit that long trained to invade northern Israel.

A November 27, 2024, truce agreement largely halted more than a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, including two months of full-blown war during which Israel sent in ground troops.

The fighting came after the terror group opened fire on the Jewish state on October 8, 2023, in support of ally Hamas, which had invaded Israel from Gaza a day earlier. The persistent rocket fire from Lebanon displaced some 60,000 Israeli civilians.

Last month, Israel withdrew all its forces from southern Lebanon, with the exception of five strategic points, saying it had received a green light from the US to remain at those posts, and citing the need to prevent Hezbollah returning to the area and threatening Israel.

The agreement allows Israel to respond to imminent threats, and Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Lebanese territory since the deal took effect.

Israel can also report violations of the agreement to a US-led committee, composed of representatives from the US, France, Lebanon, and the international observer force UNIFIL.

Last week, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israeli forces will remain at the strategic posts in southern Lebanon “without a time limit,” adding, “It depends on the situations, not on the time.”
