The IDF confirms carrying out a drone strike in southern Lebanon last night, saying it killed a Hezbollah operative.

The strike, near the village of Mansouri, south of Tyre, killed Muhammad Ali Shuweikh, who the military says served as Hezbollah’s local representative in the village. As part of his role, the IDF says, he was responsible for liaising between the terror group and the residents “on economic and military matters.”

“Additionally, the terrorist acted to seize private property for terror purposes,” the IDF says, adding that his actions “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
