After being contacted by The Times of Israel, the IDF has issued the correct video of a strike in southern Lebanon’s as-Sultaniyah yesterday in which a senior Hezbollah commander was killed.

The original video published by the IDF was of a separate strike on a Hezbollah position in Kafr Kila, and mistakenly labeled as the strike on the commander.

“The incident was investigated and the necessary lessons were learned to prevent future errors,” the IDF says in response to a query.
