Two Israeli strikes killed three people in southern Lebanon on Saturday.
One person was killed and two others were injured in a drone strike that targeted a motorbike on Saturday afternoon in the Mahrouna area, in the Tyre district.
The victim has been identified as Abbas Wehbe, “an Intelligence officer of Hezbollah’s Al-Radwane group”, according to the Israeli army. َA woman later succumbed to her injuries.
Earlier that morning, another Israeli drone strike targeted a car in Kounine, also killing one person, Hassan Mohammad Hammoudi Jomoa.
During the evening, the Arabic-speaking spokesperson for the Israeli army, Avichay Adraee, stated that Hassan Mohammad Jomoa was “responsible for anti-tank missiles in the Bint Jbeil area within Hezbollah.”
“During the war, he oversaw plans to launch anti-tank rockets toward Israeli territory,” he wrote on his X account, adding that the Israeli army “will continue to eliminate any threat to Israeli territory.”
Targeted Israeli assassinations have become an almost daily occurrence in Lebanon since the ceasefire that took effect on November 27, 2024, following over a year of hostilities, including two months of open war with Hezbollah.
On Friday, a woman was killed and several people wounded in a raid targeting the apartment of a Hezbollah official in Nabatiyeh.
