A prominent member of Hezbollah’s drone unit was killed in an Israeli airstrike in northern Lebanon on Monday, the IDF says.
The military says Khalil Muhammad Amhaz, a member of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, known as Unit 127, which is responsible for drone attacks on Israel, was killed in the strike in the Hermel District.
The IDF describes Amhaz as a “central source of knowledge” in the drone unit.
