The IDF confirms carrying out a drone strike last night in the Tyre District of southern Lebanon, killing a senior Hezbollah commander.

According to the IDF, the strike in the village of Derdghaiya, adjacent to Maaroub, killed Ahmed Adnan Bajija, a battalion commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force.

The military says the commander was involved in directing numerous attacks on Israel and IDF troops during the war and that in recent months, amid the ceasefire, he “continued to engage in advancing terror attacks against the Israeli home front.”

The IDF publishes footage of the strike.
