Why it matters:
This strike is the latest in a series of Israeli aggressions in southern Lebanon, occurring despite a fragile ceasefire. It underscores the continuing volatility along the Israel-Lebanon border and the ever-present threat of renewed escalation, even as the de-escalation agreements remain ineffective.
The big picture:
A ceasefire was declared in November 2024 between Israel and Lebanon, requiring both sides to withdraw from southern Lebanon, with Lebanese armed forces taking control. Despite the ceasefire, Israel has continued to strike, conducting over 1,000 raids.
Key points:
- The strike occurred around 10:30 p.m. in Kfar Roummane, Nabatiyeh district.
- Lebanese Health Ministry reports 4 killed, 3 injured.
- Israeli sources say the target was a Radwan Force operative, part of Hezbollah’s elite unit.
- The missile reportedly struck a vehicle.
- The Lebanese National News Agency confirmed the strike involved a guided missile.
