Israel carried out an air strike late Wednesday on a vehicle in the town of Jannata, in the southern city of Tyre, saying it targeted a Hezbollah operative.
The strike injured one passerby, according to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency.
Then Thursday morning, an Israeli drone carried out a raid targeting a minibus on the Hosh al-Sayyed Ali road in al-Nasiriyah in the Bekaa Valley, resulting in two fatalities. Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee said on X that, in a joint operation with the Shin Bet, an Israeli strike killed Hussein Mahmoud Murshid Al-Gohari, whom he described as a senior member of the operations unit (840) in the Iranian Quds Force; the group is notorious for carrying out terrorist activity against the state of Israel.
Following this, Israel carried out a demolition operation Thursday morning on two houses in the border town of Kfarkela. Two Israeli drones also dropped explosive bombs on the town of Houla at dawn, causing damage to an excavator and several cars, according to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency.
On Thursday afternoon, the Israeli military reported targeting another Hezbollah operative in a vehicle in the Jumayjimah area of Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil District. One injury was reported.
The latest strikes follow a series of IDF operations conducted on Wednesday morning against Hezbollah rocket launchers positioned in southern Lebanon. The IDF stated that several launch sites belonging to the group were hit across the region, destroying Hezbollah military facilities as well as additional terrorist infrastructure from which operatives had recently carried out activities. The army stressed that the presence of these rocket launchers constituted a violation of the existing understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
