A few days after the ceasefire agreement was signed, an Israeli airstrike on a Lebanese military vehicle resulted in the death of one general and two soldiers.

June 6 — Tensions between Israel and Lebanon have flared anew, just days after a recent ceasefire agreement, leaving an already fragile situation on edge. Lebanese military sources reported that on the 6th, the Israeli military carried out an airstrike on a military vehicle in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh area, killing a Lebanese brigadier general, a captain, and one other soldier. Lebanese President Michel Aoun condemned the attack as a serious violation of Lebanese sovereignty and international law. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it conducted the strike, stating there was “suspicious activity” in the vehicle’s location, with intelligence indicating potential Hezbollah involvement. The IDF added that an investigation into the incident is underway, emphasizing that the target of the attack was not the Lebanese Army. Additionally, on the same day, the Israeli military launched a separate airstrike on the southern Lebanese village of Saksakieh, killing at least six civilians and wounding four others. The Lebanese military accused Israel of ongoing military operations that are undermining the ceasefire and withdrawal process. Analysts note that the deadly strike targeting a senior Lebanese military official comes amid recent ceasefire signings and U.S.-backed peace initiatives. The incident now poses a potential new test for the already fragile truce.
