An Israeli drone struck a vehicle on Sunday in the southern Lebanese town of al-Mansouri, local media said.
Initial reports indicated that at least one person was killed, believed to be the principal of the town’s school.
Later, the Israeli army identified the victim as Mohammad Ali Shweikh, alleging that he managed links between Hezbollah and residents on military and economic matters and had seized private property for “terrorist” use.

Despite a US-brokered ceasefire signed on November 27, 2024, between Israel and Lebanon, Israeli troops remain deployed at eight positions south of the Litani River and continue airstrikes and artillery barrages across southern and eastern Lebanon, including Beirut’s southern suburbs. Lebanese authorities report that more than 350 people have been killed and over 650 injured since the truce took effect.
