The IDF confirms carrying out drone strikes in southern Lebanon earlier today that killed two Hezbollah operatives.
The first strike, between the towns of Kfour and Toul near Nabatieh, killed Hassan Ahmad Sabra, a commander in the naval unit of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, the military says.
Within an hour, another strike was carried out in the Naqoura area, killing a Hezbollah operative who the military says was involved in restoring the terror group’s capabilities in the area.
The IDF says their activities “constituted a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
