On December 25, 2025, the Israeli army conducted strikes across Lebanon, killing several people, including an alleged operative of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The strikes, which occurred in the Hermel and Ansariyah areas, targeted vehicles and individuals, according to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) and the Israeli army. Israel accused Hussein Mahmoud Marshad al-Jawhari, the alleged IRGC member, of orchestrating "Iran-directed terror activities." These attacks follow a previous Israeli strike the night before and are part of near-daily ceasefire violations since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah went into effect in November 2024. The NNA also reported a separate strike on a pickup truck in southern Lebanon, while the Israeli army claimed to have killed a Hezbollah member in the same region.
