Israel launched heavy airstrikes early Saturday on southern Lebanon, killing one person and injuring seven, while temporarily blocking a key highway connecting Beirut to southern regions, the Health Ministry reported.

The pre-dawn strikes targeted the village of Msayleh, hitting a heavy machinery business and destroying numerous vehicles. A passing vegetable truck was also struck, killing one occupant and injuring another, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV.

The Health Ministry confirmed the deceased was a Syrian citizen, while the injured included another Syrian and six Lebanese, among them two women.

Israel said the strike targeted machinery intended for Hezbollah’s infrastructure rebuilding. Since the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war ended last November under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Israel has conducted near-daily airstrikes, claiming Hezbollah is attempting to restore its military capabilities.

Earlier this month, U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk urged renewed efforts to end hostilities in Lebanon, noting that 103 civilians have died since the ceasefire until the end of September.

The last Israel-Hezbollah war claimed over 4,000 lives in Lebanon, including hundreds of civilians, and caused an estimated $11 billion in damages, while Israel lost 127 people, including 80 soldiers. The conflict began after Hezbollah fired rockets across the border on Oct. 8, 2023, following a deadly Hamas-led attack in southern Israel.
