But the recent strikes have prompted fears that the truce could unravel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Israeli military said the latest strike, in the Dahiya area in Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs, had targeted a Hezbollah operative who had directed and assisted Hamas in planning a \u201csignificant and imminent\u201d attack against Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel acted to eliminate the operative because he posed an \u201cimmediate threat,\u201d the military said on social media.
