X<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n\n The officer killed was a brigadier-general, according to Lebanon\u2019s official National News Agency.\n <\/p>\n
\n The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it struck the vehicle after it was spotted \u201cmoving suspiciously.\u201d The area had been evacuated, the IDF said, amid \u201cconcrete indications\u201d that Hezbollah was operating in there. The IDF said the incident is under review and that \u201clessons will be learned accordingly.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The area around Nabatiyeh has seen multiple Israeli strikes in recent days, despite the renewal of a US-brokered ceasefire between the governments of Israel and Lebanon.\n <\/p>\n
\n Two strikes in the area earlier this week killed a Lebanese soldier and injured two others.\n <\/p>\n
\n The Iranian-backed group Hezbollah, which has targeted Israeli troops inside Lebanon and communities in northern Israel, rejected the ceasefire so long as the Israeli military remains in Lebanon.\n <\/p>\n
\n At least 21 people were killed in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Friday, according to a CNN tally of reports by NNA.\n <\/p>\n
\n The Israeli military issued another evacuation order to residents of several villages and towns in southern Lebanon on Saturday due to what it called \u201cthe terrorist Hezbollah party breaching the ceasefire agreement.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n It ordered civilians to move north of the Zahrani River, which is some 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of the border with Israel.\n <\/p>\n
