News - Middle East: In the latest blatant violation of a shaky ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, the Israeli military has attacked the Arab nation’s southern province of Nabatieh, killing at least one individual.

The Public Health Emergency Operations Center at the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced in a statement that an Israeli drone fired a guided missile at a motorbike as it was traveling along the road linking the village of Arnoun to the Chaqif region.

No immediate details were provided about the identity of the victim.

The strike came a day after a commander of the Hezbollah resistance movement was killed in an Israeli drone strike in the town of Deir al-Zahrani, deep in southern Lebanon.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported that the Israeli military carried out the aerial attack early on Saturday, killing Mohammad Ali Jammoul.

Jammoul, 33, was on his “usual early-morning drive from his home to perform dawn prayers at the mosque in his hometown,” when the drone attacked his vehicle, “killing him instantly,” said the report.

The report noted that the strike was preceded by the flight of Israeli helicopters over the area for the first time at that depth.

A Lebanese Civil Defense source said their personnel extinguished the fire that had broken out in the targeted vehicle and transported the body to a hospital in the city of Sidon.

Following significant losses sustained over nearly 14 months of conflict and the failure to meet its objectives in the offensive against Lebanon, Israel was compelled to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah. This ceasefire took effect on November 27, 2024.

Since the commencement of the agreement, the occupying forces have been launching assaults on Lebanon, including airstrikes throughout the Arab nation, breaching the ceasefire.

On January 27, Lebanon announced its decision to extend the ceasefire with Israel until February 18.

Although the deadline of February 18 has passed, Israel continues to maintain its occupation of five significant regions in southern Lebanon, namely Labbouneh, Mount Blat, Owayda Hill, Aaziyyeh, and Hammamis Hill, all situated near the border.

Lebanon has condemned the continued presence of Israeli military forces, viewing it as a violation of the ceasefire agreement and the established timeline for withdrawal. Senior officials in Beirut have expressed their commitment to take “all necessary measures” to remove the occupying troops from the nation.
