The military says it recently killed more than 10 Hezbollah field commanders who were managing the fighting against IDF troops in southern Lebanon.
In March, the IDF killed Hassan Salameh, the commander of Hezbollah’s Nasr Unit, one of three regional divisions in southern Lebanon. Since then, the military says it killed two of his successors, Mahdi Bazi and Ashraf Salloum, one after the other.
Separately, within a 12-hour period recently, the IDF says it killed the commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the Beaufort Castle area, Nasser Shakir, and his replacement, Ahmad Sablini, who previously served as deputy.
In addition, the IDF says it has killed Ali Abbas, the commander of Hezbollah’s forces in Bint Jbeil; Kamil Younes, commander of the Tyre sector; Fouad Moussa, commander of the Hajir sector; Hussein Salami, commander of the Jibshit sector; Ali Haik, commander of the Khiam sector; and Muslim Harb, commander of the Qana sector.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
