International News: The Israeli army  has killed a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon's Mazraat Gemzem region. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that a senior Hezbollah commander in the Shqif region was killed in an air strike on Saturday. The commander was reportedly actively involved in re-establishing Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure in the region. According to the Israeli military, the operation, carried out this morning, was aimed at eliminating elements trying to re-establish terrorist activities in south Lebanon.

he IDF said in its statement that "a senior Hezbollah commander from the Shaqif region was killed in a precision strike in Mazraat Gemzem. This commander was involved in reestablishing terrorist infrastructure." This is another major success for the Israeli army. Israel has vowed that it will not allow terrorism to rise again. 

Violation of border agreements

The Israeli military stressed that activities such as the reconstruction of the terrorist infrastructure and related operations are a clear violation of the mutual agreements between Israel and Lebanon. The IDF said, "The reconstruction of the terrorist infrastructure and related activities are a blatant disregard of the understanding reached between Israel and Lebanon." Therefore, Israel has taken this action.

Growing tension in the region

This action has come at a time when tensions between Israel and Hezbollah are constantly increasing on the border. In the last few months, there have been several shelling and missile attacks between the two sides. Israel has recently carried out several air strikes targeting Hezbollah bases active in the southern regions of Lebanon. At the same time, Hezbollah has also claimed several rocket and drone attacks targeting Israeli military bases and border areas.

Conflict may deepen in Israel-Lebanon

So far there has been no formal response from Hezbollah or the Lebanese government to this latest attack. However, regional experts believe that this development could further inflame violence on the border, and this has increased the possibility of further deepening of the Israel-Lebanon conflict.
