Israel carried out an airstrike on a southern Beirut suburb on Sunday, saying it killed Hezbollah’s chief of staff Haytham Tabtabai and warning the Iran-backed militant group not to rearm and rebuild a year after their latest war.

One year after the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, the death toll is again climbing as both sides accuse the other of violating the terms of the deal. Over the weekend, Israel bombed the Lebanese capital,

Israel targeted the chief of staff of Lebanon's Iran-aligned Hezbollah group in a strike in the capital Beirut's southern suburbs.

Haytham Ali Tabatabai is the most senior commander from the Iran-backed group to be killed by Israel since a November 2024 ceasefire sought to end more than a year of hostilities between the two sides.

Israeli forces have carried out military strikes in both Gaza and Lebanon this week leaving several people dead despite ceasefires in place.

The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is under threat after accusations of violations from both sides.

Israeli forces on Sunday struck Lebanon's capital for the first time since June, killing Hezbollah's chief of staff Haytham Tabtabai. The attack on Beirut’s southern suburb, the latest in an unending series of Israeli violations of its ceasefire with the Lebanese group, killed at least five people and injured 25, the country’s health ministry said.

The bodies of 14 Palestinians handed over by Israel as part of the ceasefire deal were buried in central Gaza on Sunday.

The Gaza ceasefire was stretched thin after Israel accused Hamas of crossing the yellow line, retaliating with air and drone strikes.

Israel’s economy significantly accelerated in the third quarter, recovering from a plunge triggered by the 12-day war with Iran in June and ahead of the ceasefire in Gaza reached in mid-October.

As phase one of the ceasefire in Gaza continued to bend but not break, Israel reported that Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organizations continue to violate the terms. Notably, another shooting attack on Israeli troops this week led to retaliatory airstrikes across the enclave.
