Army says two Hezbollah artillery officers killed in separate strikes

Two Hezbollah operatives responsible for artillery fire, who were advancing attacks against Israel, were killed in airstrikes in Lebanon yesterday, the military says.

According to the IDF, both Muhammad Abbas Sha’shua, who was based in Sohmor in the eastern Beqaa Valley, and Muhammad Hussein Yassin, based in the Beaufort Castle area of southern Lebanon, were involved in rehabilitating the group’s fighting capabilities.

Sha’shua was responsible for Hezbollah’s artillery capabilities in the Sohmor area, and during the fighting last year, had advanced numerous attacks against the Kiryat Shmona area and Golan Heights, the military says.

Yassin, a senior member of Hezbollah’s artillery unit in the Beaufort Castle area — and responsible for attacks last year on Kiryat Shmona and the Galilee Panhandle — was also involved in bringing arms south of the Litani River in contravention of a ceasefire, the IDF says.

The IDF issues footage of the strikes.
