Two killed as Israeli drone targets vehicle in Bint Jbeil district in southern Lebanon
Tehran - BORNA - In the latest act of aggression against Lebanon, an Israeli drone launched a missile at a car in the Ain al-Mazrab area near Safad al-Batikh, within the Bint Jbeil district, on Sunday. The attack completely destroyed the vehicle and set it ablaze.
The strike inflicted heavy damage on civilian property in the area, including nearby cars, shops, commercial establishments, and residential units situated above them.
The Israeli army claimed the strike in the Jmeijmeh area of southern Lebanon was directed at a member of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
Israel continues to target vehicles and its assassination policy despite the ceasefire that began on November 27.
Israel has carried out thousands of attacks in violation of the agreement on cessation of hostilities issued on November 27, 2024, as well as UN Security Council Resolution 1701, adopted in 2006.
Under the ceasefire agreement, Israeli forces were expected to withdraw from southern Lebanon by January 2025, but the pullout has remained incomplete.
Meanwhile, diplomatic pressure has intensified on Beirut. On December 18, French, Saudi, and US officials met in Paris with the commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces to discuss a roadmap for disarming Hezbollah.
The resistance group has repeatedly said it will not disarm as long as Israeli forces occupy parts of southern Lebanon and continue to launch attacks, warning that ongoing violations risk collapsing the already fragile truce.
