A Hezbollah missile commander was killed in an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon yesterday, the IDF announces.
The strike carried out by the Israeli Air Force in the Nabatieh area killed Mohammed Mousa Mteirek, a unit commander in Hezbollah’s missile array, according to the IDF.
The military says Mteirek was responsible for the launches of hundreds of rockets and drones targeting Israeli civilians and IDF troops, including soldiers of the Golani Brigade operating at the Beaufort Castle.
The Golani soldiers had directed the IAF strike, the military says.
