A Hezbollah commander whom the IDF says was responsible for numerous rocket attacks on northern Israel was killed in a drone strike earlier today.

The strike in Shabriha, near Tyre, eliminated Mohammed Khader al-Husseini, the commander of Hezbollah’s firepower unit in the Litani river area, the IDF says.

The military says that during the war, Husseini led numerous rocket attacks on Nahariya, Haifa and other northern towns.

Recently, he had been involved in efforts to restore Hezbollah’s rocket artillery capabilities, which the IDF says is a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire in Lebanon.
