The Israel Defense Forces said it killed Ahmad Muhammad Salah, head of Hezbollah's Yohmor outpost in southern Lebanon, in an airstrike on Saturday.

Salah was involved in efforts to reestablish Hezbollah's military infrastructure sites in the area of Yohmor, it said in a statement.

The Public Health Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Health Ministry said earlier in the day that an Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in the Sharabik neighborhood of Yohmor, Nabatieh district, resulted in one death.

Earlier in the day, Mohammad Abdullah Al-Hadi, a militant from Hezbollah's elite Radwan Forces, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the town of Al-Khiam in southern Lebanon, according to Israeli and Lebanese sources.

Since Nov. 27, 2024, a ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States and France has been in effect between Hezbollah and Israel, putting an end to clashes that had erupted in the wake of the war in Gaza.

Despite the agreement, the Israeli army occasionally carries out strikes in Lebanon, claiming they are meant to eliminate "threats" posed by Hezbollah.
