The Lebanese Health Ministry reported that an Israeli drone strike killed one person and injured 13 others in Al-Ayrouniyah.
The identity of the individual killed has not yet been officially disclosed, and Hamas has yet to comment on the incident.
This marks the first Israeli strike on northern Lebanon since the November 27, 2024, ceasefire. Between that date and July 7, 2025, Israel committed approximately 4,000 violations of the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of more than 197 people and injuries to 435 others.
