Israeli forces killed four people, including a child, in southern Lebanon on Monday evening, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported, citing the health ministry, in two separate strikes that the Israeli military said targeted members of the Shia Muslim armed group Hezbollah.
In a third incident, Israeli forces seized an official from Jama’a Islamiya, a Lebanese Sunni Islamist group, during a raid, according to the group and Hezbollah. The Israeli military described him as a “senior terrorist” and said he was transferred to Israel for questioning.
Israel has carried out regular strikes in Lebanon since its 2024 war with Hezbollah, killing around 400 people since a ceasefire, according to a toll from Lebanese security sources.
Three of the fatalities, including a three-year-old child were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the village of Yanouh, NNA reported, citing the health ministry.
The Israeli military said it had killed a Hezbollah member in a strike in the area of Yanouh, identifying him as the head of Hezbollah’s artillery in the area, and saying he carried out numerous attacks on Israel during the war.
