Israel strikes Hibbariyeh and Abbasiyeh, killing at least one person
by Naharnet Newsdesk 20 June 2025, 13:06 Israeli drones targeted Friday two locations in south Lebanon, killing at least one person. A drone strike targeted a car on the outskirts of the southern town of al-Hibbariyeh hours after another strike targeted a car in al-Abbasiyeh. Israeli soldiers also entered the southern border towns of Mais al-Jabal and Houla and detonated houses in the towns. Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war. The ceasefire requires Israel to fully withdraw its troops from Lebanon, but it has kept them in five positions it deems "strategic".
