The head of Hezbollah’s logistical headquarters, Suhail Hussein Husseini, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut yesterday, the IDF announces.
The IDF says the headquarters that Husseini commanded oversees Hezbollah logistics and budgeting of its various units.
He was also a member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, the terror group’s top military body.
“Husseini played a crucial role in weapon transfers between Iran and Hezbollah and was responsible for distributing the advanced weaponry among Hezbollah’s units, overseeing both the transportation and allocation of these arms,” the IDF says.
The military says that he was “responsible for the budgeting and logistical management of Hezbollah’s most sensitive projects, including the organization’s war plans and other special operations, such as coordinating terrorist attacks against the State of Israel from Lebanon and Syria.”
The military says the headquarters also includes Hezbollah’s R&D, which is responsible for the manufacture of precision-guided missiles.
