SAA event in Lebanon on Fri 24th April 2026

Six Hezbollah gunmen were killed in the southern Lebanon town of Bint Jbeil today, the military says. The IDF says soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade exchanged fire with the gunmen after identifying them, killing two. A short while later, the IDF says it carried out a strike on a building where the operatives were, killing the other four. No soldiers were hurt in the incident. The IDF says the incident is a "blatant violation of the ceasefire understandings by the Hezbollah terror organization." Bint Jbeil is located in the Israeli-held security zone in southern Lebanon. The IDF assessed as the ceasefire took effect last week that several Hezbollah operatives remained holed up in the town after more than 100 were killed during the fighting there in recent weeks.
