Casualties as Israeli drone strikes motorcycle in Touline

An Israeli drone strike on Wednesday targeted a motorcycle in the southern town of Touline, causing casualties, the state-run National News Agency said. An Israeli quadcopter meanwhile dropped a stun grenade on the southern town of Yaroun. The Israeli army said earlier on Wednesday that it killed a Hezbollah operative in Brital near Baalbek who it said was directing militant cells in Syria. "Yesterday evening (Tuesday), the (Israeli air force) ... struck the terrorist Hossam Qasem Ghorab, a Hezbollah terrorist who operated from Lebanese territory to direct terrorist cells in Syria," the Israeli army said in a statement. Lebanon's cabinet on Tuesday tasked the army with developing a plan to disarm Hezbollah by the end of the year, an unprecedented step since civil war factions gave up their weapons decades ago. The decision followed heavy U.S. pressure and came as part of implementing a November ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah including two months of all-out war. The confrontation left the militant group badly weakened, though it retains part of its arsenal.
