A platoon commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon today, the military says.
According to the IDF, the operative, Issa Ahmad Karbala, was involved in moving weapons around in Lebanon and advancing attacks against Israel.
The military says Karbala’s activities “constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
He was targeted while riding a motorcycle in the town of Ain Qana. Lebanon’s health ministry also confirms that one person was killed in the strike.
