🇮🇱 IDF CAPTURES HEZBOLLAH RADWAN COMMANDO IN SOUTHERN LEBANON OPERATION

The IDF says troops captured a Hezbollah Radwan Force commando during operations in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, following last week’s attack that seriously wounded an Israeli reservist.

During scans by the 679th “Yiftah” Armored Brigade, another Hezbollah terrorist opened fire from a building, killing an IDF Oketz canine unit dog. Israeli forces surrounded the gunman, ordered him to surrender, and eliminated him after he reached for his weapon.

No IDF soldiers were injured.

The captured Radwan operative was transferred to Israel for interrogation by Unit 504, the IDF’s human intelligence unit.

Lebanon demanding Israel fulfill pledge for pullout pilot or it will skip Rome talks

[IsraelTimes] Leb
...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade....
is demanding that Israel fulfill its pledge to withdraw from two "pilot zones" in the nation’s south and hand them over to the Lebanese military before it agrees to participate in the next round of direct talks, scheduled for next week in Rome, a Lebanese diplomatic source told AFP Wednesday.

The source, requesting anonymity, said "Lebanon is stipulating Israel’s withdrawal from two pilot zones in order to participate in the round of negotiations" that Italia and Israel said would take place in Rome on July 15-16, following the signing of a US-brokered framework deal last month.

An Israeli official told The Times of Israel last month that more time was needed for the IDF to withdraw from one of the two pilot zones in southern Lebanon from which it had agreed to pull back under the agreement. The army has not yet been instructed by Israel’s politicianship to withdraw, according to military officials, but the IDF has made preparations for the move.

Israel and Lebanon previously met for five rounds of US-sponsored talks in Washington aimed at ending the war between Israel and Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah and paving the way for peace.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
the agreement — rejected by Hezbollah — does not set a timetable for Israel’s withdrawal, and Israeli officials have also vowed that forces will stay in a "security zone" 10-kilometers (six miles) deep as long as Hezbollah remains a threat.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow...
an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed two people on Wednesday, Lebanese state media reported.

"Two young men were martyred after being targeted by an enemy drone... while they were walking in the vicinity of Ghandour Hospital in Nabatieh al-Fawqa," Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said, two days after a strike on the same town killed four civilians, including a school principal.

The IDF did not immediately comment on the reported strike.
