IDF forces destroyed a building last night being used by the Hezbollah terror group in the town of Ayta ash Shab in southern Lebanon, the military says in a statement.

According to the IDF, the building was also the home of a Hezbollah operative, Muhammad Husayn Qasim, who was killed about a week ago after troops identified him working to rebuild Hezbollah infrastructure in the area.

The IDF says all Hezbollah activity in the area is a violation of the agreement reached in November between Israel and Lebanon.

The Lebanese government agreed earlier this month to move ahead with a US-backed plan for the Lebanese army to disarm Hezbollah, although the terror group has vowed to resist.
