Attacks destroyed about 300 construction vehicles used by Hezbollah, killing one person; Lebanese president criticizes the action

In the early hours of Saturday, the Israeli Air Force bombed hundreds of heavy construction vehicles that, according to the Israeli army, were being used by Hezbollah to rebuild its structure in southern Lebanon

The attack left one person dead and was condemned by the Lebanese president.

In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the airstrikes hit Hezbollah locations where the group stored heavy machinery to “rebuild its terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon.”

Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on displays of tractors and bulldozers on Al-Musaylih Road in the Sidon district of southern Lebanon.

The army also accused Hezbollah of acting in a way that “endangers Lebanese civilians by using them as human shields.” According to the IDF, the use of this equipment by the group, which is backed by Iran, violates the ceasefire agreement signed in November 2024.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the Israeli attacks.

“Once again, southern Lebanon has been the target of Israeli aggression against civilian facilities, without justification or pretext,” Aoun said.

“The gravity of this attack lies in the fact that it occurred after the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.”

The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that an attack in the al-Msayleh area killed one person and injured seven.

According to Lebanese media, the victim was a Syrian national who was passing through the area in a van carrying fruit and vegetables.

According to the Lebanese National News Agency, more than ten separate attacks destroyed approximately 300 vehicles, including tractors, excavators, and more than 100 smaller Bobcat-type vehicles.

Earlier this week, an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed a Hezbollah member operating a bulldozer.

The IDF said “the terrorist was hit while attempting to rebuild Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure.”

In another incident, on Friday, the IDF announced that soldiers destroyed a building in Ayta ash-Shab, southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah’s weapons cache was located.

Reservists from the “Baram” Regional Brigade inspected the site before dawn, following intelligence, and seized the weapons before blowing up the building.

Airstrikes carried out by Israeli warplanes on Al-Musaylih Road at dawn coincided with the passage of a bus carrying vegetables, which caused the death of a citizen and injuries to his brother.

Since the ceasefire began on November 27, 2024, after Hezbollah began attacking Israeli communities and military bases in support of the Palestinian group Hamas, Israel has carried out almost daily attacks on Hezbollah targets.

Under the agreement, only the Lebanese government could maintain weapons in southern Lebanon, and the IDF was authorized to act against imminent threats from the group.

Since the ceasefire began, the IDF claims to have carried out more than 500 airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, killing more than 300 Hezbollah members and destroying dozens of sites, alleging they violated the terms of the agreement.
