Israeli army says killed Hezbollah commander in S Lebanon

Jerusalem, May 17 (UNI) The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it struck and killed a Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon on Saturday.
According to the statement, the commander, whose name was not given, was killed in the village of Mazraat Jemjim, north of Tyre city.
Several Israeli media outlets reported that the Hezbollah commander was attacked by a drone while inside a car.
The IDF statement accused him of "being involved in the reestablishment of Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in the area," calling such rebuilding efforts and related activity "a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."
The strike comes despite a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which was reached on Nov. 27, 2024, and intended to halt more than a year of hostilities tied to the war in the Gaza Strip.
In violation of the truce deal, the Israeli military continues to hold several strategically important positions in southern Lebanon and launch occasional strikes, claiming they were neutralizing "Hezbollah threats."
