A Hezbollah operative was killed in an Israeli drone strike in the coastal Lebanese city of Sidon this morning, the military says.

The IDF says the strike targeted Muhammad Abdullah, a member of the Lebanese terror group who was responsible for the deployment of Hezbollah’s communication systems across Lebanon, especially in areas south of the Litani River.

“The activities of the terrorists in the recent period constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and posed a threat to the State of Israel and its citizens,” the IDF adds.
