Israel has repeatedly bombed Leb
...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?...despite a November ceasefire, which brought to an end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah that culminated in two months of open war.
As part of that deal, Israeli forces were to withdraw from southern Lebanon and Hezbollah was to dismantle its forces in the region.
Under U.S. pressure and fearing an escalation of Israeli strikes, the Lebanese government has moved to begin disarming Hezbollah, a plan which the group has opposed.
IDF: Hezbollah commander killed in drone strike targeting vehicle in south Lebanon
[IsraelTimes] Assassination of Radwan Force operative follows several other attacks in recent days, which IDF has said hit terror group’s targets in breach of ceasefire
A commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force was killed in a dronezap in southern Leb
...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?...on Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces said, with the Lebanese authorities reporting one dead and one maimed in the attack.
The operative, Zayn al-Abidin Hussein Fatouni, was a commander in Radwan’s anti-tank missile unit and was involved in restoring Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, according to the IDF.
Fatouni was targeted while driving in the village of Jibchit, close to the town of Harouf in the Nabatieh area.
In a statement, Lebanon’s health ministry said that an "Israeli enemy strike on a car in Harouf, Nabatieh district" killed one person and maimed another.
Recently, Fatouni was "involved in efforts to reestablish Hezbollah’s terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon," the IDF said, adding that his activities "constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."
The Radwan Force was previously tasked with invading Israel in a future war, and the IDF said the elite unit had advanced the terror group’s "Conquer the Galilee" plan for years, until the 2023-2024 war saw most of Hezbollah’s leadership eliminated.
