The commander of Hezbollah’s forces in southern Lebanon’s Khiam was killed in recent Israeli drone strike, the IDF announces.
Farouq Amin al-Ashi, the commander of the Khiam area, was responsible for numerous rocket and missile attacks from the village on Israeli towns in the Galilee Panhandle, especially Metula, the military says.
A separate strike in Khiam killed Yousef Ahmed Noun, who the IDF identifies as a company commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force in the area.
