Two Hezbollah commanders, including a member of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, were killed in recent airstrikes in southern Lebanon, the IDF says.
A strike carried out by fighter jets in as-Sultaniyah killed Riyad Reda Ghazzawi, whom the IDF identifies as a commander in the Radwan Force’s anti-tank missile unit.
The IDF says he was behind numerous anti-tank attacks on Israel and troops operating in southern Lebanon.
Additional strikes targeted several buildings in Safad al-Battikh where the IDF says Hezbollah members were operating.
The IDF says that a commander at Hezbollah’s headquarters was killed in the strikes. He was responsible for transferring weapons to Hezbollah cells, as well as recruitment, according to the military.
