JERUSALEM: The Israeli army said Saturday it killed a Hezbollah member in a strike the day before on southern Lebanon, where Israel has carried out repeated attacks despite an ongoing ceasefire with the Iran-backed group.
“In a targeted strike the (Israeli army) eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist in the Froun area in southern Lebanon” on Friday, the military said in a statement.
It added the Hezbollah member had “advanced terror attacks against the State of Israel” and its forces.
Lebanon has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024 — which sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah — by continuing its strikes and maintaining forces inside its territory.
Israel has said Hezbollah is working to rebuild its military capabilities, accusing the Iran-backed group of breaking the ceasefire terms.
