Three Hezbollah operatives were killed in Israeli drone strikes in southern Lebanon over the past day, the military says.
A strike in Kafra on Wednesday afternoon killed Ali Mohammed Qarouni, who the IDF says served as Hezbollah’s local representative in the town, and as part of his role, he was responsible for liaising between the terror group and the residents “on economic and military matters.”
“The terrorist acted to seize private property for the organization’s military needs, such as renting homes for storing weapons and conducting surveillance,” the army says.
A separate strike earlier today in Kfar Reman killed two more Hezbollah operatives, who the IDF says were engineering operatives involved in restoring the terror group’s infrastructure in the Mount Dov and Khiam areas.
