**Israeli Strike Kills One, Wounds Seven in Southern Lebanon, Raising Tensions**

**Msayleh, Lebanon** – A predawn Israeli airstrike on the southern Lebanese village of Msayleh has left one person dead and seven others wounded, further straining the fragile ceasefire brokered in November 2024 between Israel and Hezbollah. The attack, which targeted a site selling heavy machinery, has been condemned by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun as a “blatant aggression” against civilian infrastructure.

The strike occurred early Saturday morning, destroying numerous vehicles and hitting a passing vegetable truck, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. A Syrian national was killed in the attack. Separately, Lebanese media reported Israeli drone overflights over Beirut and its southern suburbs.

President Aoun called the attack an assault on civilian facilities “without any justification or pretext,” and expressed particular concern given its occurrence after a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Israel claims the strike targeted equipment intended to rebuild Hezbollah infrastructure, asserting such operations are necessary to prevent the group from restoring its military capabilities. The Israeli military has claimed that such operations are necessary to prevent Hezbollah from restoring its military capabilities.

The incident follows a pattern of near-daily Israeli strikes on Lebanese territory since the ceasefire. Earlier this month, the UN human rights chief, Volker Turk, reported that Israeli strikes have killed 103 verified civilians in Lebanon since the ceasefire took effect. Days before this incident, Israeli drone strikes killed two men it claimed were Hezbollah operatives. Lebanese authorities said on Friday they had foiled an Israeli plot to carry out bombings and assassinations at a commemoration for late former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated by Israel, arresting several suspects.

Hezbollah has rejected mounting pressure to disarm, with Secretary-General Naim Qassem vowing the group will never relinquish its weapons. US special envoy Tom Barrack acknowledged the group’s legitimacy as a political party complicates the issue, though he noted it is the job of the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah. The Lebanese government, facing pressure from the US and Israel, tasked the army with preparing a plan to disarm the group.

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah dates back to October 2023, when the group began launching rockets into northern Israel following a Hamas-led assault on southern Israel that triggered the war in Gaza.

The renewed violence in Lebanon comes as a separate ceasefire in Gaza has allowed thousands of Palestinians to return to destroyed homes.
