The Israeli Air Force struck a vehicle in the village of Tebnit in southern Lebanon on Monday afternoon, marking the first airstrike since the announcement of the US-Iran agreement. According to Israeli security sources, the strike was carried out for immediate-threat removal, as the vehicle was moving near IDF troops who remain deployed in the area.
This development follows a sequence of reports through the day. The first reports of an Israeli strike in Tebnit emerged at 08:39 Jerusalem, with Lebanese state news initially reporting several wounded. By 08:39, Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar network reported at least one operative killed, and by 08:39 the Lebanese National News Agency confirmed a drone strike killed the driver. The IDF confirmed the strike was to remove an immediate threat near ground forces in this update.
As The Zioneer reported on June 13, the Lebanese Army withdrew from Kfar Tebnit as IDF ground forces advanced in the area. The IDF captured most of the village overnight prior to the initial strike at 08:39 Jerusalem, according to earlier reports. Security sources told Army Radio (N13) that despite the new agreement framework, IDF forces have not moved from their positions in southern Lebanon, including the Beaufort area, and are awaiting formal operational orders.
No group affiliation for the target has been reported yet, and the IDF has not officially commented on this specific operation beyond the immediate-threat characterization.
