BEIRUT/JERUSALEM, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- One person was killed, and three others injured on Thursday in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.

According to the NNA, Israel carried out an air raid on the area between the Toura and the town of Abbassiyeh, in the Tyre district. Ambulances have rushed to the site for the casualties.

For its part, the Israeli military said it carried out strikes on sites in the Tyre area in southern Lebanon, targeting people it described as militants with Hezbollah.

"The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) struck terrorists who were operating at a terrorist infrastructure site belonging to Hezbollah's Construction Unit," the military said in a statement.

It said the infrastructure at the site was used to manufacture equipment employed by Hezbollah to rebuild its power.

The military vowed to continue "to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel."

Although a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has been in place since Nov. 27, 2024, Israel has continued to launch near-daily strikes in Lebanon, saying it is targeting ongoing Hezbollah activity while maintaining forces along the border.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah issued on Thursday an open letter to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, warning against "slipping into negotiation traps" with Israel.

"There is no national interest in political negotiations with the Israeli enemy," the statement said.

The group further claimed that Israel is using "blackmail" to impose conditions, including the disarmament of Hezbollah, as a prerequisite for ending hostilities -- terms it described as "unacceptable and not included in the ceasefire declaration."

The letter insisted that the issue of "exclusive possession of arms" must be discussed within a national framework and "not in response to foreign pressure or Israeli coercion." ■
