A recent Israeli airstrike in Lebanon killed the commander of Hezbollah’s rocket and missile unit in southern Lebanon and other commanders, the IDF says.

Muhammed Ismail, the commander of Hezbollah’s rocket and missile unit in southern Lebanon, his deputy Hussein Ismail, and other commanders were killed in the strike.

The military does not detail when or where the strike took place.

The Hezbollah rocket and missile commander was responsible for numerous attacks on Israel amid the war, including Wednesday’s ballistic missile fire at Tel Aviv, according to the IDF.
