The commander of Hezbollah’s artillery forces in southern Lebanon’s Blida was killed in a recent airstrike, the IDF says.

The Hezbollah operative had been spotted by troops of the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit while launching an anti-tank missile at Israel.

The IDF says that a short while later, an airstrike was carried out against one of Hezbollah’s main command centers in Blida, killing the commander.

The 869th has directed numerous strikes on Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure during operations in southern Lebanon with the 91st Division in recent weeks.
