IDF says Hezbollah commander in Taybeh area of southern Lebanon killed in airstrike

The military says that it killed the commander of Hezbollah’s Taybeh compound Mohammad Hussein Ramal in an airstrike in southern Lebanon.

The IDF says Ramal was responsible for planning and carrying out terror activities against Israel and was killed in the airstrike directed by troops of the 98th Division.

At the same time, troops of the 7th Armored Brigade located and destroyed several rocket launchers primed for launch toward northern Israel, the military says.

It adds that troops of the 36th and 91st divisions have uncovered weapons belonging to Hezbollah during operations against the terror group in southern Lebanon, including sniper rifles, anti-tank missile launchers, and Burkan-type missiles, which it says were “ready for use” and aimed at Israel’s territory.

The military statement adds that the Israeli Air Force also acted against a terrorist cell in southern Lebanon that was preparing to fire an anti-tank missile at troops operating on the ground.
