Msayleh Strike in Southern Lebanon Kills One, Severs Key Highway

Conflicting claims over the target highlight the fragility of the Hezbollah ceasefire.

Overview

  • Lebanon’s health ministry said a Syrian national was killed and seven people were wounded, and a highway link to Beirut was knocked out.
  • The Israeli military said it struck engineering machinery used by Hezbollah to reestablish military infrastructure in violation of prior agreements.
  • Lebanon’s National News Agency and AFP reported about 10 raids on heavy‑machinery yards in Msayleh that destroyed more than 300 vehicles and devastated showrooms.
  • President Joseph Aoun condemned what he called a heinous attack on civilian installations, saying it lacked any justification.
  • The strike continues near-daily incidents since the November 2024 truce, with the UN reporting over 100 civilian deaths in Lebanon, and state media later reported a separate hit on a vehicle in Qalaouiyah.
