The IDF says it eliminated a top commander in Hezbollah’s aerial unit who was responsible for launching drones at Israel for both intelligence-gathering and attack purposes.
A strike several days ago in Nabatieh took out Khader Al-Abed Bahja, head of the northern Litani region of the aerial unit, the army says.
The news comes two days after a drone struck an IDF training base, killed four soldiers and injured dozens more.
The IDF does not say whether Bahja’s unit was tied to that attack.
