Technically there's still supposed to be a fragile (and not infrequently violated) Lebanon truce in effect.
But fighting has been on the uptick in southern Lebanon of late, as encroaching Israeli forces target suspected Hezbollah hideouts and individuals. Wednesay saw the IDF launch a deadly drone strike on the Lebanese town of Qabrikha, which it said involved targeting "suspects" who were "observing" Isreali forces inside Lebanon.
via Ynet Global"Earlier today (Wednesday), the [army] struck two suspects who were observing … forces in the area of Qabrikha, located outside the security zone in southern Lebanon," the army said.
"The strike was carried out to eliminate the threat to forces operating in the security zone," it added, but then further claimed Israel "remains committed to the agreement between Israel and Lebanon."
However, Lebanese and locals are outraged that a motorcyclist was simply taken out while traversing roads in his own country. This is amid an ongoing IDF occupation, well inside Lebanese territory.
Lebanese health authorties later confirmed one person was killed and another wounded, the former said to be a medical worker, and the latter said to be a local photojournalist. The incident is reported to be a first major Israeli military action in weeks.
