Israel military confirms hitting Hezbollah site in south Lebanon
JERUSALEM - Israel's military said Saturday its navy hit a Hezbollah "infrastructure site" near the southern Lebanese city of Naqoura, a day after Israel's foreign minister warned the Lebanese armed group against entering the Iran-Israel war. "Overnight, an Israeli Navy vessel struck a Hezbollah 'Radwan Force' terrorist infrastructure site in the area of Naqoura in southern Lebanon", the military said in a statement. The military said the site was used by Hezbollah "to advance terror attacks against Israeli civilians". In a separate statement on Saturday, the military said it had "struck and eliminated" a Hezbollah militant in south Lebanon the previous day, despite an ongoing ceasefire between both sides. In a statement carried by the official National News Agency, Lebanon's health ministry said late on Friday that one person was killed in a "strike carried out by an Israeli enemy drone on a motorcycle" in the same south Lebanon village. The November ceasefire aimed to end hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, which sparked months of deadly hostilities by launching cross-border attacks on northern Israel in solidarity with Palestinian ally Hamas following its October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Lebanon's army, which has been dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure as part of the truce, said earlier in June that the Israeli military's ongoing violations and "refusal to cooperate" with the ceasefire monitoring mechanism "could prompt the (Lebanese) military to freeze cooperation" on site inspections.

'Israeli' navy claims strikes on Hezbollah site in southern Lebanon
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced early Saturday that its navy carried out a strike on what it described as a Hezbollah "terrorist infrastructure site" near the southern Lebanese coastal city of Naqoura. 'Overnight, an Israeli Navy vessel struck a Hezbollah 'Radwan Force' terrorist infrastructure site in the area of Naqoura in southern Lebanon,' the IOF said in a statement, adding that the location was used 'to advance terror attacks against Israeli civilians.' The Radwan Force is an elite unit within Hezbollah, and 'Israeli' officials have repeatedly accused it of preparing cross-border operations from southern Lebanon. In a separate statement, the IOF said it had 'struck and eliminated' a Hezbollah operative in southern Lebanon on Friday, despite the existence of a fragile ceasefire agreement between the two sides. The Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed that one individual was killed on Friday in a drone strike, reportedly launched by an Israeli drone targeting a motorcycle in the same region. The strike was reported by Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA). The November 2023 ceasefire was intended to halt hostilities following weeks of deadly exchanges across the 'Israel'-Lebanon border. Despite the truce, skirmishes and violations have persisted. Earlier this month, Lebanon's army, which has been tasked with dismantling Hezbollah positions in the south, warned that continued IOF violations and a lack of cooperation with ceasefire monitors could force Lebanese forces to 'freeze cooperation' on joint inspection efforts.
