The IDF says its airstrike in the southern Lebanese town of Doueir this afternoon killed a Hezbollah engineering commander.

The strike killed Ali Dawoud Amees, who the military identifies as a “division head in Hezbollah’s engineering department.”

“The terrorist was involved in efforts to rehabilitate military infrastructure of the Hezbollah terror organization in the Doueir area in southern Lebanon and advanced terror plans against IDF troops,” the military says in a statement, adding that his actions “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
