NextFin news, On Saturday, September 20, 2025, an Israeli airstrike struck a car on the Khardali road near Ain al-Qasab junction in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon, killing one person, according to Lebanon's Public Health Emergency Operations Center and the National News Agency.
The victim was identified as a civilian from the town of Khiam residing in Kfarkela. The strike represents the latest breach of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on November 27, 2024, between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group.
Lebanese officials reported that the Israeli military has continued to carry out airstrikes in southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire, including recent attacks that killed two Hezbollah members and wounded 11 others in the region.
According to an unnamed Lebanese army intelligence source, the two Hezbollah members killed in previous strikes were Hussein Hassan Ramadan and Ammar Hayel Qsaybani. The Israeli military has stated that its strikes target Hezbollah militants and weapons storage facilities.
Since the ceasefire, Israel has maintained troops in five strategic areas in southern Lebanon, including Labbouneh, Mount Blat, Owayda Hill, Aaziyyeh, and Hammamis Hill, near the border. Lebanon has condemned the continued Israeli military presence as a violation of the ceasefire and has pledged to take all necessary measures to remove the occupying forces.
The strike on Saturday occurred a day after Israeli drone attacks targeted a car in Tebnine and a water tanker near Ansar, both in southern Lebanon, further escalating tensions in the region.
The ongoing Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon come amid a fragile ceasefire and reflect the persistent volatility along the Israel-Lebanon border.
