The Israeli military reported killing several Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon, highlighting ongoing tensions despite a fragile ceasefire agreement.

The Israeli military announced on Saturday that its forces killed several Hezbollah fighters during overnight operations in southern Lebanon. According to an official military statement, troops identified combatants in the area and engaged them to eliminate immediate threats. The military also reported that one Israeli soldier suffered minor injuries during the encounters.

The skirmishes take place despite an active ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah. The truce, aimed at halting months of border conflict, has faced strain as recurring incidents are reported along the border zone.
