The Israeli military launched airstrikes on Lebanon overnight targeting Hezbollah and killing at least one person.
The attack on the village of Msayleh also destroyed a highway that connects Lebanon to Beirut, the Lebanese Health Ministry said, according to The Associated Press.
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were targeting a “Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure” in southern Lebanon, according to a statement on social platform X.
“The site contained engineering machinery used by Hezbollah to reestablish terrorist infrastructure in violation of agreements between Israel and Lebanon,” the IDF wrote.
The strike follows a series of daily assaults sparked after Israel breached a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon that was made last November.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun blasted Israel over the strike, suggesting it was unprovoked assault.
“Once again, southern Lebanon has been the target of a heinous Israeli aggression against civilian installations — without justification or pretext,” Aoun said after the attack, according to The Times of Israel.
“The seriousness of this latest attack lies in the fact that it comes after the ceasefire agreement in Gaza,” he added.
The IDF began a military operation against Lebanon shortly after Hamas first attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 — when 1,200 Israelis were killed and over 250 people taken hostage. Hezbollah, designated a terrorist organization by the U.S., fired back at Israel in support of the Palestinian militant group. Both Hamas and Hezbollah are backed by Iran.
The action led to a 14-month war that left more than 4,000 people dead, according to the AP.
In August, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled that he would consider ending strikes on Lebanon if Hezbollah was disarmed.
The Lebanese Cabinet then committed to aiding in the disarmament of Hezbollah but told their Israeli counterparts that “hostilities” must end.
The latest attack comes just days after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first stages of a 20-point peace plan to end the more than two-year war in Gaza. The agreement, unveiled late last month by President Trump, includes a ceasefire in the region as well as a swap of the remaining hostages and some Palestinian prisoners.
The president is expected to travel to Egypt and Israel on Sunday to mark the implementation of the deal. U.S. soldiers have also been stationed in Israel to oversee the plan.
On Thursday, Aoun lauded the ceasefire agreement and called for “continued international and regional efforts to achieve a comprehensive and just peace in the region that guarantees the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”
He also urged Israel to “halt its aggressive policies in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.”
