According to Lebanese officials, one individual died in an “Israeli enemy strike” on a car in Naqoura, located in Tyre province. Another attack targeted a vehicle in Nabi Sheet, in the Baalbek region, killing one more person.
Later, the ministry reported a third strike in the nearby town of al-Hafir, which resulted in the death of a Syrian national and injuries to another Syrian citizen.
The Israeli military stated that it had killed Ali Hussein al-Mousawi, described as a “weapons dealer and smuggler working on behalf of Hezbollah,” in eastern Lebanon.
In southern Lebanon, the army claimed it also eliminated Abd Mahmoud al-Sayed, identified as a local Hezbollah representative. Israel has intensified its operations in recent weeks, launching several deadly strikes across Lebanese territory.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported that an Israeli drone dropped a grenade near its peacekeepers in Kfar Kila, while an Israeli tank fired in their direction.
“These actions by Israel Defense Forces violate Lebanon’s sovereignty and show disregard for the safety and security of UN peacekeepers,” UNIFIL said in a statement.
A UN special rapporteur also warned that Israel’s attacks on civilian vehicles may constitute war crimes, despite Israel’s claims that the targets were Hezbollah members.
The ceasefire agreement reached last year required Israeli forces to withdraw from southern Lebanon and for Hezbollah to move north of the Litani River, dismantling all military infrastructure in the south.
Under the deal, only the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL were authorized to operate in southern Lebanon. However, Israel continues to maintain troops at five border points it considers strategic.
Amid U.S. pressure and fears of further escalation, the Lebanese government has begun efforts to disarm Hezbollah—an initiative strongly opposed by the group and its political allies.
