The Israeli Air Force announced Wednesday that it struck a “central terrorist” in Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is responsible for transporting and smuggling Iranian weapons into Lebanon.

The strike in the al-Qusayr area of northern Lebanon came after the operative “repeatedly violated” the current ceasefire, including being involved in weapons smuggling to the Iran-backed terror group.

The military said that the Hezbollah operative was attacked “while planning more smuggling.”

The army, which has recently carried out airstrikes in the area of the Syria-Lebanon border, added that Unit 4400 is continuing to smuggle arms to Hezbollah “in a manner that constitutes a threat to Israel’s security.”

Lebanese national news agency NNA reported that “an enemy drone targeted a vehicle on the Hermel-Qusayr road, leaving one dead and one wounded” in the northeast of the country.

The attack came after Israel carried out a similar operation the day before, which left two dead in eastern Lebanon, in the Janta region, Lebanese media said.

According to the Israeli army, Tuesday’s strikes targeted Hezbollah terrorists after the IDF identified the operatives at a “strategic weapons” manufacturing and storage facility belonging to the terror group.

The operatives’ activity at the site was a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, the IDF said.

Lebanese state media said that the Israeli strike killed at least two people in the country’s east.

“An enemy drone carried out an airstrike on the town of Shaara… near the eastern Lebanon mountain range, killing two people and wounding two” others, said the state-run National News Agency.

Lebanese terror group Hezbollah began attacking across the border on October 8, 2023, the day after allied Palestinian terror group Hamas led a massive invasion of southern Israel in which it killed some 1,200 and took 251 hostages.

Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks forced the evacuation of 60,000 northern residents, killed dozens of people, and caused significant damage. Israel hit back with airstrikes, and by September, the conflict escalated into open war, during which Israel decimated Hezbollah’s leadership and stockpiles. The war ended in a late November ceasefire, which has largely held despite mutual accusations of violations.

Under the November 27 truce agreement, Israeli forces were to withdraw from southern Lebanon while Hezbollah was to remove its military infrastructure from the area. Troops remain in five points deemed “strategic” by the Israeli military.
