Later on Thursday, the IDF carried out a second strike.
Israel struck a terrorist operative in the Ansariyah area of southwestern Lebanon, the security services said on Thursday morning.
The joint Israel Defense Forces and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) statement did not specify the name or affiliation of the terrorist, although the military has carried out frequent attacks on Hezbollah targets to prevent the Iranian proxy army from rebuilding its capabilities since the U.S.-brokered truce took hold more than a year ago.
Later on Thursday, the IDF struck a Hezbollah terrorist in the village of Al-Jamijmah in Southern Lebanon, according to a separate statement.
The IDF on Wednesday night carried out strikes against several Hezbollah missile launch sites in Southern Lebanon.
“The presence of these launching sites constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” said the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
"The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat against the State of Israel and to prevent attempts by Hezbollah to reestablish capabilities," the statement added.
On Monday, Israel's military killed three Hezbollah operatives involved in advancing attacks against troops and in reestablishing terrorist infrastructure in the Sidon area of southwestern Lebanon.
An initial review found that one of the terrorists killed in the airstrike had also served in a Lebanese Armed Forces' military intelligence unit.
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said on Saturday that the disarming of Hezbollah terrorists south of the Litani River, a key requirement of Beirut's ceasefire with Israel, was "only days away from completion."
The Israeli-Lebanese truce went into effect on Nov. 27, 2024, following an intense two-month IDF campaign that weakened Hamas’s leadership. The deal was cemented by the Israeli and Lebanese governments and five mediators, including Washington.
