Israeli strikes on Lebanon kill seven after ‘historic’ decision to disarm Hezbollah

Israeli strikes across Lebanon have killed at least seven people since Thursday, when the Lebanese cabinet voted to endorse a disputed US-drafted plan that aims for Hezbollah’s disarmament. An Israeli strike on the Saida-Sour motorway to south Lebanon on Friday killed journalist Mohammad Shehadeh, the director of the Hawana Lebanon news site. Hezbollah released a martyrdom poster following his death, acknowledging his membership in the group. On Thursday – while Lebanon’s cabinet was meeting to vote on the issue of Hezbollah’s disarmament – at least six people were killed and 10 wounded in Israeli strikes in the Bekaa region, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
