The IDF says that its Tuesday airstrike on Beirut, killing Ibrahim Qubaisi, the commander of Hezbollah’s rocket and missile division, also killed his deputy and another senior commander.
The strike on the Lebanese capital killed Abbas Sharafeddine, Qubaisi’s deputy, and Hussein Ezzeddine, a senior commander in the missile division, who according to the IDF was close to Hezbollah’s assassinated military chief Fuad Shukr.
A separate strike that day killed another senior operative in Hezbollah’s missile division, the IDF adds.
