Israel targets van in south and shells al-Rihan and Kfartebnit

An Israeli drone strike on Tuesday targeted a van on the Harees-Hadatha road in southern Lebanon's Bint Jbeil district. Israeli artillery also shelled areas near al-Rihan and the town of Kfartebnit.

These strikes occurred amidst a perceived lull in violence between Israel and Hezbollah, following the announcement of an Iran-American peace deal. Hezbollah stated on Monday that its fighters used rockets and drones to block an Israeli force, including an excavator and Merkava tanks, attempting to advance near Kfartebnit. The group further reported regrouping enemy forces and targeting them with barrages.

The mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance targeted them with rocket barrages and artillery shells, and the clashes are still ongoing.

Earlier on Monday, a deadly strike by an Israeli drone on a car in the same region marked the first fatality since the peace agreement was announced. Details of the deal, which Iran and mediator Pakistan say includes Lebanon, have not been made public. Hezbollah initiated rocket fire into Israel on March 3, avenging the killing of Iran's supreme leader in U.S.-Israeli strikes, prompting Israeli airstrikes and an invasion that has reportedly killed over 3,700 people and displaced more than a million in Lebanon. An official source indicated Lebanon was not informed of the agreement's terms or ceasefire timing.
