TL;DR

An Israeli Air Force aircraft struck a vehicle in the village of Tebnit, southern Lebanon, Monday afternoon — the first airstrike since the announcement of the US-Iran agreement. According to Israeli security sources cited by the report, the strike was an 'immediate threat removal' targeting a vehicle moving very close to IDF troops in the area. Lebanese reports indicate one fatality.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The IDF carried out an airstrike on a vehicle in the village of Tebnit in southern Lebanon on Monday at approximately 17:30 Jerusalem time, marking the first Israeli airstrike since the announcement of the US-Iran agreement. As The Zioneer reported earlier (17:00), a precision strike on the same village minutes earlier killed at least one Hezbollah-affiliated operative; the 17:30 strike — hitting a different vehicle — killed one additional person, according to Lebanese reports.

Israeli security sources cited in the report described the strike as an 'immediate threat removal' because the vehicle was moving rapidly close to Israeli forces stationed in the area. The same sources emphasized that IDF troops have not withdrawn from any of the positions they captured in recent days in southern Lebanon, including the Beaufort area, and are awaiting operational orders under the new framework created by the US-Iran agreement.

The report also noted that aside from this airstrike, almost no Israeli air operations have taken place since the ceasefire entered effect — only sporadic artillery fire to keep threats at a distance.
