Israel strike kills one in south Lebanon

BEIRUT: An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon on Friday killed one person, authorities said, with the Israeli military identifying the slain man as an official with militant group Hezbollah. Israel has repeatedly struck Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. The Lebanese health ministry said Friday that 'an Israeli strike on a vehicle in the village of Baraachit resulted in one dead.' The Israeli military said it had 'eliminated the personnel officer for Hezbollah's Bint Jbeil sector,' near the Israeli border. The man 'was involved in efforts to rehabilitate the terrorist organization in the Bint Jbeil area of southern Lebanon and operated to recruit terrorists during the war,' a military statement said. On Thursday, Israel said it had struck Hezbollah weapons depots and a rocket launcher, and 'eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist' in Lebanon's south. Under the November truce, Hezbollah was to withdraw its fighters north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving Lebanon's army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was to withdraw its troops from Lebanon but has kept them in five areas it deems strategic.
