Hezbollah lebanon

The IDF had sent out a photo of Abdullah in a Lebanese army uniform, and Hezbollah did not deny that the two other individuals he was killed with were connected to the terror organization.

The IDF said the men were involved in planning attacks against its forces and that two were members of Hezbollah’s air defense unit.

Troops operating under the Northern Command’s 91st Division eliminated four terrorists in southern Lebanon over the past week, the IDF added.

Nawaf Salam's comments came as tensions continued to boil along Lebanon's eastern border, where Israel accuses Hezbollah of ignoring calls for disarmament and carrying out ceasefire violations.

“Iran’s role is extremely negative, and its policies are among the chief sources of instability in Lebanon and the region,” Raggi wrote on social media.

Sources in the Intelligence Directorate asserted that Hezbollah succeeded in sending its agents into positions where they can influence public policy and threaten the government.

Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji added that Hezbollah's current concern is to "buy time and preserve itself internally in order to regain its power."

"When you see a hole in the ground next to the fence, you instinctively think of Hezbollah tunnels. This kind of anxiety doesn’t fade easily," a Shlomi resident commented.

On Wednesday, both Israel and Lebanon sent civilian envoys to a military committee monitoring their ceasefire, marking an expansion in the scope of talks between the two nations.

UNIFIL spokeswoman Candice Ardell told BBC News that Hezbollah supporters had often blocked the organization's convoys, accusing them of spying for Israel.
