In a brief statement, he claimed: "A short time ago, the Israeli military targeted a prominent Hamas terrorist in the Tripoli area of Lebanon," without providing any further details about the target's identity or the nature of the attack.
This comes hours after the Israeli occupation announced that it had carried out two separate airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Monday evening, allegedly killing a Hezbollah leader and a member.
In a separate statement, it clarified that it had targeted Ali Abdul Hassan Haidar in the town of Deir Kifa in Tyre Governorate, describing him as "a prominent leader in Hezbollah's Radwan Force, who was involved in offensive plots against Israel," including what it called the "Plan to occupy the Galilee," in addition to his participation in "rebuilding Hezbollah's infrastructure in southern Lebanon."
The statement added that two hours later, the Israeli occupation army launched another raid on the town of Beit Lif in the Bint Jbeil district, killing a Hezbollah member, without revealing his name or position.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported Monday evening that two people were killed in two Israeli drone strikes, one targeting a car in Deir Kifa and the other a motorcycle in Beit Lif. The official news agency also confirmed the two strikes without providing further information.
Hezbollah has not yet issued any official comment regarding the identities of those killed or the nature of the raids.
This comes as part of Israel's ongoing violations of the ceasefire reached with Hezbollah on November 27, 2024.
On October 8, 2023, Israel launched an aggression against Lebanon, which escalated into a full-scale war on September 23, 2024, resulting in more than 4,000 deaths and approximately 17,000 injuries.
A ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel went into effect on November 27, 2024, but Tel Aviv violated it more than 3,000 times, resulting in deaths and injuries. The Israeli army has not fully withdrawn from Lebanon and continues to occupy five hills it captured in the last war.
