Another Hezbollah commander was killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon earlier today, the IDF says.

According to the military, the strike in Mahrouna killed Abbas al-Hassan Wahbi, chief of intelligence in a battalion of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force.

Wahbi was involved in efforts to restore Hezbollah’s capabilities as well as transfer weapons, the IDF says.

His actions “constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military adds.
