Israeli troops entered the southern Lebanese town of Blida overnight, resulting in the death of a municipal worker identified as Ibrahim Salameh, according to state media reports. The incursion involved drones and light armoured vehicles, with soldiers storming the town hall where Salameh was sleeping. The Israeli military stated that the operation aimed to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure, though no evidence was provided to support claims that the building was being used by the group. The raid has sparked outrage in Lebanon, coming after a ceasefire ended hostilities between the two sides last November.
