A vehicle carrying vegetables that happened to be passing by at
the time of the strikes was hit, killing one person and wounding
another, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV.
The Health Ministry later said that the one slain was a Syrian
citizen, while the wounded were a Syrian national and six
Lebanese, including two women.
The Israeli military said it struck a place where machinery was
stored to be used to rebuild infrastructure for the militant
Hezbollah group.
Since the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war ended in late November
with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Israel has carried out almost
daily airstrikes killing dozens of people. Israel accuses
Hezbollah of trying to rebuild its capabilities after the group
suffered heavy losses during the war.
Earlier this month, the U.N. human rights chief, Volker Türk,
called for renewed efforts to bring a permanent end to
hostilities in Lebanon following the war. He said that until the
end of September, they have verified 103 civilians killed in
Lebanon since the ceasefire.
The most recent Israel-Hezbollah war killed more than 4,000
people in Lebanon, including hundreds of civilians, and caused
an estimated $11 billion worth of destruction, according to the
World Bank. In Israel, 127 people died, including 80 soldiers.
The war started when Hezbollah began firing rockets across the
border on Oct. 8, 2023, a day after a deadly Hamas-led incursion
into southern Israel sparked the war in Gaza. Israel responded
with shelling and airstrikes in Lebanon, and the two sides
became locked in an escalating conflict that became a full-blown
war in late September 2024.
