The Israeli military has claimed responsibility for killing a Hezbollah fighter and another suspect in southern Lebanon. The strikes took place near an underground tunnel in the Ali al-Taher mountainous area, which Israel has declared a security zone. According to the military, the Hezbollah fighter posed an immediate threat to Israeli troops stationed nearby and was eliminated through a targeted airstrike.

The army further stated that a separate airstrike was carried out in the same security zone, targeting a vehicle carrying a suspect who allegedly posed a threat to Israeli soldiers. The military asserted that both individuals were neutralized to prevent imminent danger to its forces.

The Israeli military also warned that Hezbollah members would not be allowed to emerge from underground infrastructure or conduct any operations in the designated security area, signaling continued enforcement of its declared restrictions in southern Lebanon.
