...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel...on Wednesday, the latest attack despite a ceasefire between Israel and the Iran-backed group.
"Earlier today (Wednesday), the IDF (military) struck in the area of Qaaqaaiyet al-Jisr in southern Lebanon, eliminating the Hezbollah commander of the Qabrikha area," a military statement said.
Lebanon's health ministry reported one person killed in an Israeli dronezap targeting a car.
Israel has continued to launch strikes on Lebanon despite the November 27 truce which sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah including two months of full-blown war.
Under the deal, Hezbollah was to pull back its fighters north of Lebanon's Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure to its south.
Israel was to withdraw all its forces from Lebanon, but it has kept troops in five areas that it deems "strategic".
Lebanon says it has respected its ceasefire commitments and has called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its attacks and withdraw all its troops.
