The situation between Israel and Hezbollah remains tense despite the ceasefire, with Israel continuing airstrikes in southern Lebanon, particularly targeting Hezbollah militants. On Tuesday, Israel claimed responsibility for killing Hassan Abbas Ezzedine, a senior Hezbollah member overseeing the group’s drone and missile operations. This was part of a broader military operation aimed at preventing Hezbollah from rearming or strengthening its presence along Israel’s northern border.
In addition to these military actions, Israel also made a gesture of goodwill by releasing Lebanese prisoners, coinciding with the inauguration of Lebanon’s new president. The strikes on Tuesday reportedly killed two individuals, one of whom died in a drone strike targeting a vehicle on the Deir El-Zahrani road, as reported by Lebanon’s National News Agency.
The continuing airstrikes illustrate the delicate and volatile nature of the situation, with both sides taking actions that could further escalate tensions despite efforts to maintain some form of ceasefire or diplomacy.
