Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported Thursday morning that one person was martyred in an Israeli occupation airstrike on southern Lebanon. Initial reports indicate that an Israeli drone deliberately targeted a motorcycle traveling on the road between Aytit and Ain Baal, setting the vehicle ablaze and killing its driver instantly.
The occupation continues to disregard the ceasefire declared in November 2024. Since then, Israeli violations have reportedly killed 264 people and wounded more than 540 across Lebanon, with strikes expanding from the south to the east.

On Monday, the Emergency Health Operations Center of Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health announced that Israeli occupation airstrikes on the Bekaa and Hermel highlands, eastern and northeastern Lebanon, left five people martyred and five others wounded.
These latest violations follow a series of Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon. On September 3, warplanes struck the Zahrani coastal area, killing four and injuring 17, including four children. The strikes hit an industrial hangar used for repairing bulldozers on the Deir Taqla farm, between the towns of Ansariyeh and Adloun.
Meanwhile, UN peacekeepers have also come under fire. On September 2, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) revealed that four grenades were dropped by Israeli drones near a group of personnel clearing roadblocks to access a UN position. The mission described it as “one of the most serious attacks on UNIFIL personnel and assets since the cessation of hostilities agreement of last November.”
US willing to give Lebanon away to 'Israel': Hezbollah's Sheikh Qassem
The Resistance in Lebanon was able to thwart "Israel's" objectives and prevent it from occupying any territory during Battle People of Might, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem affirmed on Wednesday, adding that "Israel is deterred today and cannot find a foothold on our land."
In a speech marking the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Sheikh Qassem pointed out that "since the establishment of modern Lebanon, Israel has had greedy ambitions" to lay hands on the entirety of the country.
So, "the highest form of patriotism is the defense of Lebanon," he asserted.
Sheikh Qassem said that the Resistance had paid a tremendous price in defending Lebanon, offering its most precious sacrifices, including the Master of the Nation’s Martyrs, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Sayyed Hashim Safieddine.
In a similar context, the Secretary-General stated that the Resistance has played a crucial role in forming an impenetrable barrier against "Israel's" aforementioned ambitions and prevented it from achieving its goals. He emphasized the Resistance's contribution to achieving stability in Lebanon and ushering in a new era by facilitating the election of President Aoun and confronting the enemy.
Sheikh Qassem maintained that "the collapse in Lebanon was caused by corruption and the failure to implement the Taif Agreement," adding that the "Israeli aggression came to push things further toward collapse."
He noted that the purpose of the November ceasefire agreement had been to halt the aggression and for the state to assume its responsibilities by removing the occupier; however, neither of these two objectives has been achieved so far.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Naim Qassem questioned why the government would want to forfeit Lebanon's main source of strength when it possesses no alternative for national defense.
This comes at a time when "the United States is more than willing to hand over Lebanon in its entirety to Israel," he warned.
