Another Hezbollah commander was killed in a drone strike in southern Lebanon overnight, the IDF announces.
The strike in the Nabatieh area killed Mohammad Ahmad Khreiss, who the IDF says was the commander of Hezbollah’s anti-tank unit in the Shebaa area.
“During the war, the terrorist advanced numerous attacks against the State of Israel,” including an anti-tank missile attack on Mount Dov on April 26, 2024, which killed Sharif Sawaed, an IDF civilian contractor.
“In addition, the terrorist continued to advance terror activity in southern Lebanon in a way that violated the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military adds.
Another Hezbollah commander was killed in a separate drone strike announced earlier.
