BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- A Hezbollah member was killed Wednesday in an Israeli drone strike targeting southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese and Israeli sources.

According to Lebanon's official National News Agency, the strike hit the motorcycle of Issa Ahmad Karbala when he was on his way to visit his son's grave in the town of Ain Qana, Iqlim al-Tuffah district. The strike killed him and set his motorcycle on fire.

In a statement, Hezbollah confirmed Karbala's death and mourned his loss.

Identifying Karbala as a platoon commander in Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force who "advanced the transfer of weapons in Lebanon and advanced terror attacks" against Israel, the Israeli military confirmed that he was killed in the area of Ain Qana.

A ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel has been in effect since Nov. 27, 2024, largely halting clashes triggered by the Gaza war.

Still, the Israeli army continues to conduct occasional strikes in Lebanon, citing operations against Hezbollah "threats," while maintaining forces at five main positions along the Lebanese border.
