The IDF says the air force struck and killed two Hezbollah-linked operatives in southern Lebanon within the span of two hours earlier today.

One of the men, identified as Al-Munim Musa Sweidan, was targeted in the southern town of Yater. The military describes him as Hezbollah’s local representative in the town, responsible for coordinating with residents and facilitating the group’s use of private properties to store weapons and conduct surveillance.

Separately, another operative from the Hezbollah-affiliated “Lebanese Resistance Brigades” was killed in a strike in the village of Shebaa.

The IDF claims that their activities constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
