Israel assassinates a Hezbollah intelligence officer in south Lebanon
The Israeli army claimed to have assassinated 'an intelligence officer in Hezbollah's Radwan Force' in an airstrike on the town of Mahrouna in southern Lebanon.
Earlier today, the Public Health Emergency Operations Center of the Ministry of Public Health announced in a statement that 'two were killed, including a woman who sustained serious injuries, and one wounded, were killed in an Israeli raid in the town of Mahrouna.'
This comes amid ongoing daily Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Israel's continued occupation of several locations in the south, and its continued violations of the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024.
