Israeli Strike on South Lebanon Kills One
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 member. 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.

Hezbollah's rocket array commander killed in IDF drone strike in south Lebanon
The IDF struck Jamoul's position because his activities in southern Lebanon violate the ceasefire agreement between it and Israel. The IDF killed Hezbollah's Shaqif region commander, Mohammad Ali Jamoul, early Saturday morning at around 5 a.m. in Deir al-Zahrani in southern Lebanon, the military announced hours later. Jamoul was the commander of the terrorist organization's rocket array in the region, the IDF said. The Hezbollah-affiliated source Al-Mayadeen initially reported that Jamoul was struck in a vehicle in the area. He had "advanced numerous projectile attacks toward Israeli civilians and IDF troops, and was involved recently in efforts to reestablish Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure in the area," the Israeli military said in their statement. Hours later, the IDF opened fire at a suspected target in the village of Shouba, also in southern Lebanon. The IDF struck Jamoul's position because his activities in southern Lebanon violate the ceasefire agreement between it and Israel, the military added. On Friday night, the IDF earlier struck weapons depots in the Latakia area of Syria, containing surface-to-surface missiles, the military later confirmed. One civilian was killed in the strike on Latakia, the Syrian state news agency SANA reported. Amir Bohbot and Reuters contributed to this report. This is a developing story.
