Tensions between Hezbollah and Israel have continued to escalate since the assassination of a senior Hezbollah official in Jwaya on Tuesday.
An Israeli raid targeted a motorcycle in Bint Jbeil on Saturday morning, killing one person and wounding another. The motorcycle caught fire on the roadside at the intersection of Bint Jbeil and Maroun al-Ras, before Civil Defense teams could extinguish it.
Later Saturday, Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group, announced the death of one of its combatants, Zuhweir Jalbout, a Palestinian, in the Israeli attack that targeted the motorcycle in southern Lebanon.
As part of its ongoing reprisals following the elimination of senior Hezbollah official Taleb Sami Abdallah on Tuesday evening , Hezbollah announced that it had targeted the Meron military base in northern Israel “with guided missiles, destroying some of its equipment and radars.”
