A senior commander in the Imam Hossein Division, an Iranian militia that operates alongside Hezbollah, was killed in an Israeli strike in Lebanon yesterday, the IDF announces.
The military says it struck Imam Hossein’s main headquarters responsible for “managing firepower,” and killed the militia’s artillery chief, Kamil Melhem, alongside other operatives, including an aide to the commander of the division.
