Israeli drone kills one in south Lebanon: ministry
BEIRUT: A man was killed in an Israeli drone strike on southern Lebanon on Thursday, the health ministry said, after Israel announced it was carrying out 'special, targeted operations' against Hezbollah. Despite a November ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel has kept up its strikes in Lebanon, hitting suspected Hezbollah targets and occasionally those of its Palestinian ally Hamas. 'One man was killed and two others wounded in an Israeli enemy drone strike that targeted a motorcycle in the village of Mansouri' near the coastal city of Tyre, the ministry said. The Israeli military identified its target as Muhammad Jamal Murad and said he was a Hezbollah artillery commander in the coastal sector. It accused him of being behind past rocket launches toward Israel and of attempting to rebuild Hezbollah's artillery capabilities. On Tuesday, a drone strike hit a car in a nearby village, killing another man the Israeli military said was involved in developing Hezbollah's artillery capabilities. The November 27 ceasefire sought to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war that left the group severely weakened. Under its terms, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was required to fully withdraw its troops from the country but has kept them in five places it deems strategic. On Thursday, a patrol of the UN Interim Forces in Lebanon was blocked and pelted with stones by 'several individuals in civilian clothes' in the southern village of Wadi Jilu, UNIFIL said. 'The (Lebanese army) arrived at the scene and the situation was brought under control,' UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti said. In recent weeks, several incidents have seen civilians in Hezbollah strongholds confront UNIFIL patrols. The UN force sits on the ceasefire monitoring committee alongside Lebanon, Israel, France and the United States. Referencing the attacks, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told EU ambassadors 'these were limited and isolated incidents, which are being addressed and contained,' adding that the 'safety of UNIFIL personnel is essential to Lebanon, and that cooperation with the army is close.'

Paramilitary attack on shelter leaves 8 dead in Sudan
Sudan's regular army has been at war with the RSF since April 2023. (Reuters pic) PORT SUDAN : Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces killed eight civilians in a drone strike on a shelter in the besieged western city of El-Fasher, a doctor said today. 'The RSF bombed a shelter where citizens had taken refuge using a drone, late on Tuesday night,' the doctor at El-Fasher Teaching Hospital told AFP. They spoke on condition of anonymity for their safety, as health workers have been repeatedly targeted, using a satellite internet connection to circumvent the communications blackout. Since April 2023, the RSF has been at war with Sudan's regular army. The conflict has killed tens of thousands, caused the world's largest hunger and displacement crisis and torn the country apart. El-Fasher is the only state capital in Sudan's vast Darfur region still outside RSF control, despite a siege that began in May last year. The United Nations has repeatedly warned of the plight of the city's trapped civilians, who shelter from shelling in makeshift bunkers dug in courtyards and in front of houses. The bunker bombed on Tuesday 'was sheltering dozens of people', an eyewitness told AFP. The city's resistance committee, one of hundreds of volunteer groups coordinating frontline aid across the country, said the city was rocked by RSF artillery throughout the day yesterday.

Israeli drone kills one in south Lebanon, tensions rise between UNIFIL, residents
A man was killed Thursday in an Israeli drone strike on southern Lebanon, the health ministry said, after Israel announced it was carrying out 'special, targeted operations' against Hezbollah. Separately, tension was reported on Thursday between residents and the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon. Despite a November truce that ended a war between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel has kept up its strikes on Lebanon, targeting the group's sites and operatives but also occasionally members of their Palestinian ally Hamas. 'One man was killed and two others wounded in an Israeli enemy drone strike that targeted a motorcycle in the village of Mansouri' near the coastal city of Tyre, the ministry said. On Tuesday, a drone strike hit a car in a nearby village, killing one person. Israel's military said it had 'eliminated' a Hezbollah member involved in developing the Iran-backed group's artillery capabilities in the south. Three others, including a Palestinian Hamas member allied with Hezbollah, were killed in a separate strike on northern Lebanon that same day. On Wednesday, the Israeli military said its troops entered Lebanon to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure near the Israeli border. The November 27 ceasefire sought to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war that left the group severely weakened. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was required to fully withdraw its troops from the country but has kept them in five places it deems strategic. On Thursday, a patrol of the UN Interim Forces in Lebanon was blocked and pelted with stones by 'several individuals in civilian clothes' in the southern village of Wadi Jilu, UNIFIL said. 'The LAF arrived at the scene and the situation was brought under control,' UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti said in a statement, referring to the Lebanese Armed Forces. In recent weeks, several incidents have seen civilians in Hezbollah strongholds confront UNIFIL patrols. The mission is part of an international body tasked with monitoring the ceasefire agreement.
