The IDF says a senior Hezbollah field commander was killed in a recent airstrike in southern Lebanon, during operations of the Commando Brigade.
The commandos have been operating in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon, under the 98th Division.
According to the IDF, the commandos spotted a cell of Hezbollah gunmen in their area of operations, and directed strikes against them.
Among the dead was the commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the sector where the troops are operating, according to the IDF. The military does not name the exact sector, as troops are still operating there.
The troops have also located numerous weapons, including long-range anti-tank missiles, rocket launchers, and other equipment belonging to Hezbollah, the IDF adds.
