A Hezbollah operative was killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon’s Ayta ash-Shab earlier today, the IDF says.

According to the military, the operative was involved in efforts to restore Hezbollah infrastructure in the area.

Since a November 2024 ceasefire, the IDF says it has killed over 230 Hezbollah operatives in strikes in Lebanon, accusing the operatives of having violated the terms of the truce.
