The IDF confirms carrying out a drone strike in southern Lebanon today, saying it killed a member of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force.

The operative, Hussein Jaber Dib, had “advanced terror attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens,” the military says. He was killed in a strike targeting a car near the southern Lebanon town of Burj Rahal.

Since the start of the November 2024 ceasefire in Lebanon, the IDF says it has killed more than 330 Hezbollah operatives in strikes, including 20 in the past month alone, saying they were violating the terms of the truce.
