Israeli drone attack hits vehicle south of Beirut, killing at least one

An Israeli air raid targeted a motorway in Khaldeh, 12km south of Beirut, during rush hour, with Lebanese reports of casualties. Israel claims it struck an arms smuggler d to Iran’s Quds Force, but this remains unconfirmed. The attack marks an escalation despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah since November. While most strikes occur in southern Lebanon, this incident underscores the conflict’s unpredictability. The Lebanese government lacks leverage to halt the near-daily attacks, and Hezbollah’s restraint risks Israeli retaliation.
