The military says it killed Hezbollah’s Kafr Qana district commander Jalal Mustafa Hariri in an airstrike in southern Lebanon.
The IDF says Hariri was responsible for planning and carrying out terror activities against Israel and was killed alongside commanders responsible for artillery fire and anti-tank fire in the area.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah says its terror operatives in southern Lebanon were locked in clashes with Israeli troops “at point-blank range,” in the vicinity of the Al-Qawzah village.
