Israeli Strike on Lebanon Kills One.!

Amid Ongoing Cross‑Border Tensions
An Israeli military strike on the southern Lebanese village of al‑Tiri has killed one person, Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported on Thursday, as cross‑border tensions persist despite last year’s ceasefire agreement.
According to Lebanese officials, the fatality occurred after an Israeli “enemy strike” hit the area south of the Litani River, a region that has seen continued military activity. The Lebanese Health Ministry described the incident as a lethal attack and confirmed the death.
The Israeli military said the strike targeted and killed a Hezbollah member, whom it described as a “terrorist,” claiming the operation was intended to disrupt efforts by the Iran‑backed group to reestablish its military capability in southern Lebanon.
Although a ceasefire was brokered in November 2024 to halt more than a year of advanced hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, sporadic strikes and violations have continued on both sides of the border. Israeli forces assert their actions are aimed at preventing Hezbollah from rearming, while Lebanese authorities and Hezbollah have denounced ongoing Israeli military incursions.
The village of al‑Tiri lies south of the Litani, a strategic area often affected by clashes and airstrikes. Lebanese government officials are expected to review the situation in upcoming sessions amid criticism that the ceasefire terms have not been fully upheld.
The latest death adds to a pattern of violations reported since the ceasefire, which has repeatedly been tested by near‑daily strikes that both sides blame on each other’s failure to fully disengage.
