An Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle in the town of Yanouh, located in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon, resulting in the death of three people, Al Mayadeen reported Monday.

Among those killed were a four-year-old boy, Ali Jaber, and his father, Hassan, both killed instantly in the strike.

Israel has killed dozens of civilians since the 2024 ceasefire, with its strikes leaving families shattered and devastated, as the occupation regime continues its assassinations with total impunity.

Today’s strike drew particular outrage in Lebanon, reminding many of the families massacred by Israel, such as the strike on Bint Jbeil in September 2025, or that of July 2024, or the IOF’s killing of a municipal worker in his sleep in October 2025.

This comes after Israeli forces infiltrated the town of al-Habbariyya, in the Hasbaya–Marjeyoun district on Monday morning, and abducted Atwi Atwi, a regional official of the Islamic Lebanese Group (Al-Jama’ah Al-Islamiyah), from his home.

The Islamic group strongly condemned the raid, stating that Atwi was taken to an unknown location after Israeli soldiers terrorized his family and physically assaulted them. It held the Israeli forces fully responsible for any harm that may befall him.

The group stressed that the abduction is part of a wider pattern of daily violations and violent assaults on Lebanese sovereignty carried out by Israeli forces.

It questioned whether this latest act of aggression was Israel’s response to the Lebanese Prime Minister’s recent visit to the South and to towns in the Hasbaya district, or to the locals’ affirmation of their commitment to the Lebanese state.
