The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday afternoon carried out a precision airstrike targeting a “key Hezbollah terrorist” in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, the military said.

On Nov. 26, 2024, Jerusalem and Beirut signed a ceasefire deal aimed at ending more than a year of cross-border fighting between the IDF and Hezbollah. The Iranian-backed terrorists began attacking the Jewish state in support of Hamas in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.

Since the truce, the IDF has conducted frequent raids to stop Hezbollah from rebuilding its infrastructure in Lebanon, thus violating the terms.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking at a Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem hours before the reported strike on Sunday, had said that the Jewish state was “continuing to strike terrorism on several fronts.

“This weekend, the IDF struck in Lebanon, and we will continue to do everything necessary to prevent Hezbollah from re-establishing its threat capability against us,” the premier told reporters.

This is a developing story.
