The IDF confirms carrying out a drone strike in the southern Lebanon village of Deir Siryan earlier today, killing a Hezbollah operative.
According to the military, the operative “posed a threat to IDF troops deployed to the area, in violation of the agreement between Israel and Lebanon.”
The IDF publishes footage of the strike against the Hezbollah member who was riding a motorcycle.
“The IDF continues to be committed to the understandings regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon,” the military says, adding that it is still deployed to southern Lebanon “and will work to remove any threat to the State of Israel and its citizens.”
