(MENAFN- Nam News Network) BEIRUT, Nov 17 (NNN-NNA) – A Hezbollah official was killed last night, in an Israeli airstrike targeting a car in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese officials and security sources.

It was reported that a drone attacked a car in the town of Al-Mansouri, in the western sector of southern Lebanon, and flames were rising from the targeted location.

The Lebanese Health Ministry's Public Health Emergency Operations Centre said in a statement that, the strike led to the killing of a citizen.

The report said that the person killed in the strike was the principal of the town's public school. A source in the Lebanese Army Intelligence said that,“the victim, in addition to being the principal of Al-Mansouri School, was also a Hezbollah official,” without providing further details.

A ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel has been in effect since Nov 27, 2024, largely ending their clashes that erupted after the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip.

Despite the agreement, the Barbaric Israeli army carries out strikes in Lebanon, saying they are aimed at removing Hezbollah“threats,” and it has maintained forces at five main points in the Lebanese border area.– NNN-NNA
