The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah was long considered Iran’s first line of defense in case of a war with Israel.

Israel launched its most extensive series of airstrikes on the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut on Thursday, as well as Ain Qana in south Lebanon, stating it targeted Hezbollah drone production and storage facilities.

Israel has continued to carry out near-daily strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon since then, which Lebanon has said are in violation of the ceasefire deal. Israeli officials say the strikes are intended to prevent Hezbollah from regrouping after a war that took out much of its senior leadership and arsenal.

A Lebanese national was killed on Sunday in an Israeli drone strike in south Lebanon, marking yet another breach of the ceasefire agreement between the two countries, according to Lebanese media reports.

Israeli emergency services have said at least two people were killed in the strikes and dozens of people are injured.
