Israeli Drone Strike Hits South Lebanon, Killing One

An Israeli drone strike targeted the southern Lebanese town of Halta on Sunday, resulting in the death of a civilian, according to Lebanon’s health ministry. The victim was reportedly working on a chicken farm at the time of the attack.

This incident marks another breach of the ceasefire agreement established in November, which aimed to end over a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Despite the truce, Israeli forces have continued operations in southern Lebanon, citing security concerns.

Under the terms of the ceasefire, Hezbollah was to withdraw its fighters north of the Litani River and dismantle military infrastructure in the south. In return, Israel agreed to pull back its troops from southern Lebanon. However, Israeli forces remain stationed in five positions deemed “strategic,” leading to ongoing tensions and sporadic violence in the region.
