On January 4, 2026, an Israeli drone strike on a car in Ayn al-Mizrab, southern Lebanon, killed two people. The Israeli military claimed the attack targeted a Hezbollah member, alleging the group violated the November 2024 ceasefire. This strike is one of many since the ceasefire, during which over 300 people in Lebanon, including at least 127 civilians, have been killed by Israeli attacks. Israel, supported by the US, demands Hezbollah disarm, a demand the group refuses. The Lebanese government is scheduled to meet to discuss the army's progress in disarming Hezbollah, a plan dismissed by the group.
