A Hezbollah commander was killed in an IDF drone strike deep in Lebanon earlier today.
The terror group announces the death of Muhammad Qassem al-Shaer, who was killed in the strike in the Western Beqaa District, but does not detail his role.
Al-Shaer was reportedly a commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force.

His death brings the terror group’s death toll in IDF strikes since October to at least 434.
The IDF has not yet commented on the strike.
