The IDF says it killed another commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in a strike in Lebanon this week.
The strike on Wednesday killed Hisham Abd al-Karim Yassin, who the IDF says served as a “key commander” in Hezbollah’s communications unit and in the Palestine Corps of the Quds Force, the IRGC’s extraterritorial arm.
The military says the communication unit is responsible for “maintaining communication continuity” within Hezbollah, and it oversees “the development, maintenance, and use of communication systems” used by the terror group.
Yassin was involved in assisting Hezbollah rebuild its capabilities, and he “worked to advance Iranian entrenchment in Lebanon,” the IDF adds.
