Israel strikes car in Baraashit, flies drones over Beirut and Dahieh — Naharnet

[NAHARNET] An Israeli dronezap on Friday targeted a Renault Rapid vehicle in the southern town of Baraashit, killing one person and wounding another, the Health Ministry said.

The Israeli army identified the slain man as Ali Mohammad Hassan Qassan, claiming that he was "the head of Hezbollah's manpower for the Bint Jbeil sector."

"Qassan had lately worked on attempts to rebuild Hezbollah's force in the Bint Jbeil area and we worked on recruiting members during the war," the Israeli armed added.

Israeli drones were meanwhile overflew Beirut and its southern suburbs.

The developments come after violent mostly peaceful evening strikes that targeted the Iqlim al-Tuffah heights and the area between Ansar and al-Zrariyeh in south 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?...
, with the Israeli army claiming those strikes hit "Hezbollah military sites, including arms depots and a rocket launchpad."

The escalation follows U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's latest visit to Lebanon, where he discussed the thorny issue of Hezbollah's disarmament amid Israel's continued occupation of five hills in south Lebanon and its daily liquidations against suspected Hezbollah operatives.

Earlier on Thursday, one person was killed in an Israeli dronezap on a pickup truck in the border town of Aita al-Shaab.

An Israeli drone also fired two missiles on a forest area in the outskirts of the southern town of Beit Leef, sparking a blaze.
