Two members of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force were killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon’s Debaal yesterday, the IDF announces.

The strike killed Muhammad Haidar Abboud, an operations officer, and another unnamed operative responsible for artillery in the unit, according to the military.

The IDF says the pair were involved in efforts to restore the Radwan force’s capabilities and planning attacks against Israel.

“Their activities constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military adds.
