South Lebanon continued to be the scene of targeted Israeli attacks on Monday, as the Israeli army announced that it had eliminated a Hezbollah cadre in the locality of Houla, in the Marjayoun district of the Nabatieh governorate.
An initial report stated that one victim had been killed near his home. The Israeli army's Arabic-speaking spokesman, Avichay Adraee, then stated on X that “earlier today, the Israeli army attacked in the Houla area, in southern Lebanon, and eliminated a terrorist element from Hezbollah's Radwan force”.

One person was wounded earlier on Monday in the town of Kfar Kila after the Israeli army opened fire, striking the individual in the shoulder. The wounded man, identified only by his initials, M.F., was rushed to Marjayoun Governmental Hospital for urgent medical treatment.
In a statement released Monday, the Public Health Emergency Operations Center of the Ministry of Public Health confirmed the incident, saying “a citizen in the town of Kfar Kila was wounded after the Israeli enemy opened fire towards him.”
The shooting is the latest in a series of escalating incidents along Lebanon’s southern border. Earlier in the day, two individuals were injured when an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle on the Sarbin-Wadi al-Ayoun road.
In a separate incident, another Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the town of Dhayra. The attack resulted in material damage to the car but no reported casualties.
