1 killed in Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon

Nov 01, 2025

Beirut [Lebanon], November 1: An Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon on Friday killed one person and wounded another, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported.
The agency said the strike targeted a man riding a motorcycle in the town of Kounine, in the Bint Jbeil district, killing him and injuring a passerby.
The Israeli military said it carried out a strike in the area that killed a Hezbollah member, identifying him as Ibrahim Muhammad Raslan, a maintenance officer in the group. It said Raslan had been working to reestablish Hezbollah military infrastructure sites that "posed a threat to Israel and its civilians, and violated understandings between Israel and Lebanon."
A U.S.- and French-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has been in effect since late November last year, halting months of cross-border hostilities triggered by the war in Gaza.
Despite the truce, Israel has continued to carry out occasional strikes in Lebanon, saying it is targeting Hezbollah "threats." Lebanon and several international organizations have condemned the attacks as violations of the ceasefire.

Inside many enterprises, procurement still runs on long email threads, spreadsheets saved as "Quote_v3_FINAL", missing vendor documents and approvals that sit unattended for days.
