Israel Launches Another Airstrike in Southern Lebanon, Killing Two
On October 24 (local time), Israel carried out another airstrike in southern Lebanon, resulting in two deaths, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
According to Lebanon's state news agency NNA, a vehicle traveling on a road near Toul village, close to Nabatieh in the south, was hit by a guided missile from an Israeli drone, killing the driver. In a statement, the Israeli military said the deceased was Abbas Hassan Karki, the logistics supply commander of Hezbollah's southern front command, and that he was targeted and eliminated.
Later, the Ministry of Health reported that another Israeli military vehicle-targeted attack near Nabatieh resulted in one death and one injury. The Israeli military explained that this airstrike also specifically targeted a Hezbollah-affiliated terrorist.
This attack occurred just one day after Israel carried out airstrikes in eastern and southern Lebanon, killing four people, including an elderly woman.
On the same day, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam met with U.S. Army General Joseph Clearfield, the head of the ceasefire monitoring committee, and stated, "We will complete the disarmament of Hezbollah south of the Litani River by the end of the year." According to AFP, he also demanded that Israel withdraw from Lebanese territories under occupation and cease its ongoing attacks.
Despite a ceasefire brokered by the United States in November last year, conflicts over the agreement for both Israel and Hezbollah to withdraw their forces from southern Lebanon have persisted. Israel has continued to maintain troops at five 'strategic strongholds' in southern Lebanon and has carried out airstrikes against Hezbollah.
