01 · THE DISPATCH

A drone strike hit a vehicle in southern Lebanon on Monday afternoon, killing one person, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). This is the first reported drone strike since the ceasefire in Lebanon took effect, and comes approximately ten minutes after an Israeli Air Force airstrike struck a vehicle in the village of Tebnit — an attack which security sources described as an immediate-threat removal, as the vehicle moved close to Israeli forces in positions they have occupied in recent days.

On Sunday, The Zioneer reported an earlier drone strike in the Wadi al-Masila area that killed one and wounded another, and a separate targeted strike on a vehicle in Al-Hawsh that eliminated one militant. The Tebnit strike was the first IAF airstrike since the US-Iran deal was announced, and the present drone strike is the first of its kind since the ceasefire. Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for attacks on Israeli vehicles in the area, including a strike on June 6 near Yahmar al-Shaqif.

The target's affiliation in Monday's drone strike has not been reported, and the precise location within southern Lebanon was not specified by the single source.
