LEBANON – An Israeli air attack on Lebanon using drones have killed a civilian in what the Lebanese health ministry says is the violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Another person was injured when a drone targeted a motorbike in the Kfarjoz district of the Nabatieh province.
The Israeli army, for its part, claimed that the strike hit Hezbollah commander Mohammad Ahmad Khreiss.
Military spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a statement that Khreiss was Hezbollah’s anti-tank commander in the Shebaa Farms in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli attack on Lebanon came amid its ongoing conflict with Iran when Israel launched airstrikes on several sites across Iran on July 13, including military and nuclear facilities, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory strikes.
Israeli forces have conducted near-daily attacks in southern Lebanon, claiming to target the Hezbollah group’s activities despite a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon reached last November. The truce ended months of cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah, which escalated into a full-scale conflict in September.
