South Lebanon: Israeli Drone Strike Kills Citizen as He was Heading for Fajr Prayer
The Israeli enemy proceeds with its aggression on Lebanon in a new violation of a ceasefire signed in late 2024. Al-Manar correspondent in south Lebanon reported a Lebanese citizen was martyred at dawn on Saturday in an Israeli drone on his vehicle as he was heading for Fajr (dawn) prayer at his town's mosque. The strike was preceded by remarkable flight of Israeli Apache helicopters in the region, our correspondent said, noting that this is the first time -since the end of the recent war – that Israeli helicopters fly over such depth (some 25 kms from the Palestinian border). Mohammad Ali Jammaoul, 33, was martyred as his vehicle was targeted by a missile launched by an Israeli drone on the highway linking between his hometown of Deir Al-Zahrani and Nabatieh, the correspondent said. Jammoul's brother was also martyred during the latest 66-day Israeli war on Lebanon, during heroic clashes with occupation forces in Yohmor Al-Shaqeef. The Israeli enemy has been going ahead with its violations of the ceasefire. On Friday, Al-Manar correspondent reported that the Lebanese Army units found Israeli spy cameras in the outskirts of Blida border town in South Lebanon. Hezbollah has repeatedly called on the Lebanese State to take firm stance on the Israeli continued violations of the ceasefire which took effect on November 27, 2024 following a brutal Israeli war on Lebanon which started earlier in September. In an interview with Al-Manar on Wednesday, Hezbollah MP Hasan Fadlallah said the Lebanese government was not assuming its responsibilities regarding the Israeli withdrawal from the Lebanese territories that are still occupied, halting the Israeli attacks and the reconstruction efforts.

MP says Hezbollah has 'nothing to offer' before govt. honors 'commitments'
by Naharnet Newsdesk 31 May 2025, 11:41 Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah on Saturday said 'the stances we're hearing from some of the government components do not only contravene the Ministerial Statement, but are against it and its total opposite.' These stances 'evade the responsibilities that were pledged to the Lebanese people,' Fadlallah added. He noted that the first three clauses of the Ministerial Statement talk about post-war reconstruction, deterring Israel and taking steps to liberate Israeli-occupied Lebanese territory. 'But what have they done regarding these three clauses? Has the government implemented what it had committed itself to in the reconstruction file? There are five or six clauses that should be implemented before tackling the issue of defending Lebanon, which requires a national security strategy,' Fadlallah added, referring to the thorny issue of Hezbollah's arms. 'Let no one ask us to implement the Ministerial Statement in a reversed manner, in a way putting the cart before the horse. Implement your obligations first and then request things from us, because we no longer have anything to offer to anyone in any form, neither in south Lebanon, nor outside south Lebanon, nor in any region, because we have offered what we have and we've implemented what we had committed ourselves to on all levels,' the lawmaker went on to say. 'According to the constitutional and legal texts, the incumbent government is obliged to implement the stipulations of this Ministerial Statement, and we have no other words about anything else. When they implement these clauses we would talk about the other things,' Fadlallah added.

Israeli strike in Deir al-Zahrani kills 'Hezbollah rocket commander'
by Naharnet Newsdesk 31 May 2025, 11:09 Lebanese official media said an Israeli strike killed one person in the south on Saturday despite a six-month-old ceasefire, as Israel said it targeted a Hezbollah militant. The state-run National News Agency (NNA) said a man was killed when an Israeli drone targeted his car as he was heading to pray at a mosque in Deir al-Zahrani, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Israeli border. Israel has continued to bomb Lebanon despite the November 27 truce that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of open war. The Israeli army said the strike killed a regional commander "of Hezbollah's rocket array." It charged that during the conflict, the operative "advanced numerous projectile attacks... and was involved recently in efforts to reestablish Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure" in south Lebanon. Under the terms of the ceasefire, Hezbollah fighters were to pull back north of the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border, and dismantle military infrastructure to its south. Israel was to withdraw all forces from Lebanon but it has kept troops in five areas it deems "strategic". The Lebanese Army has deployed in the south and has been dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure.
