The IDF confirms carrying out a strike on a vehicle near southern Lebanon’s Tyre earlier today, targeting a senior Hamas operative.
According to the IDF, Hadi Mustafa was involved in directing terror cells in Lebanon, as well as advancing attacks against Israelis and Jews in several countries abroad.
The IDF says Mustafa was also part of a Hamas unit in Lebanon headed by Samir Fandi, who was assassinated in Beirut along with Hamas deputy leader Salah al-Arouri in January.
The military in a statement vows that it “will continue to act against the Hamas terror organization in every arena in which it operates.”
It also publishes footage of the strike.
