Israel says Hezbollah commander and jihadist killed
The Israeli air force has eliminated a commander of the Lebanese Hezbollah militia in a targeted killing, the military announced on Monday.
The attack took place in Baraachit in southern Lebanon, according to a statement by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
It said the man was “responsible for planning and executing rocket and anti-tank missile attacks on IDF troops.”
In the Gaza Strip meanwhile, the Israeli air force killed a member of the military intelligence department of the Palestinian terrorist organization Islamic Jihad, according to the military.
The man had participated in the October 7, 2003 massacre in the Israeli border area and was involved in attacks on the Israeli community of Kfar Aza, according to the IDF.
“An additional terrorist was eliminated alongside him,” it said.
The claims could not be independently verified.
The Gaza war was triggered by the unprecedented terrorist attack on southern Israel launched by the Palestinian militant Hamas organization and others on October 7, 2023, in which more than 1,200 people were killed and around 250 were taken hostage to the Gaza Strip.
More than 43,300 people have been killed and over 102,000 injured so far in the ensuing Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry.
The figures do not distinguish between combatants and civilians. However, a third of them are children and youths under 18, according to the ministry.
