NextImg:Lebanon says one killed in Israeli strike on southern town

Lebanon said that one person was killed Friday in an Israeli strike on the country’s south near the border, the latest deadly raid this week.

“An Israeli enemy strike on the town of Aitaroun killed one person,” the country’s Health Ministry said in a statement, without specifying if the individual was a civilian or combatant.

The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately comment on the strike.

Under a November 27 ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, weapons in Lebanon were to be held only by the state, and the IDF was permitted to act against imminent threats by the terror group.

Israel has since carried out hundreds of attacks on Hezbollah personnel or assets, the vast majority of them in southern Lebanon, though it has also taken action deeper inside the country, including in the Beqaa valley, a stronghold of the Iran-backed group.

Earlier this month, Lebanon’s cabinet approved a plan to disarm the terror group, whose ministers and other Shi’ites in the government walked out on the meeting. Details of the disarmament plan remain secret.

Lebanon’s army will have fully disarmed Hezbollah near the border with Israel within three months, Beirut’s foreign minister said Tuesday.

The ceasefire agreement came after nearly 14 months of conflict sparked by Hezbollah’s unprovoked launching of near-daily attacks on Israeli border communities starting October 8, 2023 — a day after fellow Iran-backed group Hamas stormed southern Israel, sparking the Gaza war.

The Hezbollah attacks displaced some 60,000 residents of northern Israel. In a bid to secure their return, Israel stepped up operations in Lebanon in September 2024, decimating Hezbollah’s leadership.
