A person was killed Thursday with a raid on southern Lebanon, targeting, according to the Israeli army, the leader of the artillery in the Sahel sector of Hezbollah, pointing out that in recent months he tried to rebuild artillery capabilities in the region.
Since November, a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon has been in force after a dispute that spanned more than a year between Israel and Hezbollah, which has turned into an open confrontation as of September. Nevertheless, the Hebrew state is constantly launching raids in several Lebanese regions, especially in the south, which it often says is targeting party elements or its sites.
And the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported in a statement that “the Israeli enemy raid in a motorcycle in the town of Al -Mansouri, the district of Tire that led to a martyr and the injury of two people.”
Later, the Israeli army announced “the elimination of Muhammad Jamal Murad, the Hezbollah’s artillery commander in the Sahel sector,” noting that his activities “posed a threat to the security of the State of Israel and its citizens.”
Mourad, according to the statement, was “responsible for many missile launch operations towards the State of Israel during the war, and in recent months he tried to rebuild artillery capabilities in the coastal region.”
This raid came after the announcement of the Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adrai in a publication on “X” on Wednesday about the implementation of Israeli forces “special and focused operations with a goal (…) preventing Hezbollah’s re -position in the region.”
Three people were killed on Tuesday and 13 others were wounded by an Israeli raid targeting a car in northern Lebanon, while the Israeli army said it had eliminated an element in the Palestinian Hamas movement.
A person was also killed on Tuesday evening with an Israeli raid targeting a car in southern Lebanon, according to the Ministry of Health, while the Israeli army announced that it had eliminated “Hussein Ali Mazhar, the fire administration official in the Al -Zahrani sector.”
Israel repeated that it will continue to work to “remove any threat” against it, and will not allow the party to rehabilitate its military structure. She promised to continue launching strikes unless the authorities removed Hezbollah.
An American ceasefire stipulated that Hezbollah withdrawal from the area south of the Litani River (about 30 kilometers from the border) stipulated and dismantled the military built it, in exchange for strengthening the deployment of the army and the United Nations temporary power (UNIFIL), which is scheduled to be renewed in late August.
Also, it stipulated that the Israeli forces withdraw from areas they advanced during the war, but Israel has kept its presence in five strategic heights, which Lebanon demands to withdraw from it.
UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tennte announced Thursday that a UNIFIL patrol was “planned” had been subjected to intercourse by civilian clothes in the town of Wadi Gilo in southern Lebanon.
“Although the situation was calm at the beginning, these people soon began to threw stones at peace soldiers, forcing them to disperse the crowd using smoke to protect themselves from harm,” adding that the Lebanese army had later arrived at the site “and the situation was controlled.”
There are skirmishes between UNIFIL patrols and Hezbollah supporters. But it rarely gets worse and quickly contains the Lebanese authorities.
“These are limited and few events, and are dealt with and surrounded,” said Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, during his reception of the ambassadors of the European Union in Lebanon, commenting on the repetition of these skirmishes.
