IDF drone strikes Hezbollah terrorist near Tyre

The Israel Defense Forces attacked a Hezbollah terrorist operative in the southwestern Lebanon’s Tyre District on Thursday. An Israeli Air Force craft “recently struck a terrorist of the Hezbollah terrorist organization who was operating in the Alma al-Shaab area in Southern Lebanon,” the IDF confirmed in a Hebrew-language X post. Earlier on Thursday afternoon, Lebanon’s Al-Jadeed channel reported that a drone targeted a vehicle in Alma al-Shaab. According to the report, at least one person was wounded in the strike.

A truce brokered by the United States and France between Lebanon and Israel has been in place since Nov. 27, ending more than a year of cross-border fighting linked to the war in Gaza. Hezbollah has agreed under the truce to move north of the Litani River, with the Lebanese Armed Forces deploying to the south. Neither action has taken place in full.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Tuesday reiterated Jerusalem’s demand that the Lebanese government act against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist organizations within its borders. He spoke shortly after the IDF struck a Hezbollah target in Beirut’s Dahieh area, reportedly disrupting a planned terrorist attack that could have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Israeli civilians.
