An Israeli drone strike targeted a motorcycle in southern Lebanon on Thursday, killing the rider, according to local media.

The National News Agency reported the strike occurred between Ain Baal and Bazouriyeh, amid heavy Israeli aerial activity over Tyre, nearby villages, and the Litani River.

Israel later claimed the target in the Ain Baal strike was Waseem Saeed Jbaai, a Hezbollah member affiliated with Iran’s Imam Hussein Brigade. According to the military, Jbaai played a key role in weapons procurement and rocket operations during last year's war, and was involved in efforts to rebuild the unit.

Additional airstrikes reportedly hit the valley between Zrariyah and Ansar in southern Lebanon.

Separately, Israeli jets bombed the eastern Beqaa border region between Janta and Qousaya, with no casualties confirmed.

Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on X that raids hit “Hezbollah infrastructure” in the Beqaa, including a facility for producing and storing strategic weapons, as well as sites in Zrariyah.

Earlier at dawn, Israeli forces also demolished a building used as a school for children with special needs on the outskirts of the southern Lebanese town of Aita al-Shaab.

Although a ceasefire formally began on November 27, 2024, the UN peacekeeping mission (UNIFIL) has documented more than 4,800 Israeli violations, resulting in over 235 fatalities and 480 injuries—including women and children.
