A Hezbollah member was killed and two people injured Friday in Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) and a security source.

The fatality occurred in the village of Aitaroun, the NNA said.

A source in Lebanese army intelligence told Xinhua that the person killed was a Hezbollah member named Hussein Khalil Mansour.

In a separate incident, a hostile drone fired a guided missile at a vehicle in the village of Aita al-Jabal, located in the central sector of southern Lebanon, resulting in two injuries, according to the NNA.

The agency also reported that several Israeli drones dropped bombs on the villages of al-Dhahira, al-Wazzani, and Yarine, as well as the town of Naqoura, without causing any casualties.

Since Nov. 27, 2024, a ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel, brokered by the United States and France, has been in effect, aiming to end more than a year of cross-border clashes.

Despite the agreement, the Israeli army occasionally carries out strikes in Lebanon, saying they are to eliminate Hezbollah "threats," and it has maintained a presence at five main points in the Lebanese border area after the deadline for its full withdrawal expired on Feb. 18.
