IDF names Hezbollah arms smuggling official targeted in airstrike as Mahran Ali Nasruddin

The IDF names the “central” Hezbollah terrorist targeted earlier in an airstrike on the Al-Qusayr area of southern Lebanon as Mahran Ali Nasruddin, of the terror group’s Unit 4400, which coordinates weapons smuggling.

The military says this means transferring arms from Iran and its proxies in the region, particularly via Syria.

It notes that many senior members of the unit have been killed during the war, including its commander and the latter’s expected successor.

Nasruddin played a “significant” role in weapons smuggling and has been directly involved in collaborating with smugglers working at the Syria-Lebanon border.
