A top commander in Hezbollah’s intelligence division was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut this afternoon, the IDF says.
Hassan Khalil Yassin, according to the IDF, headed a unit in Hezbollah’s intelligence division that was tasked with locating Israeli military and civilian sites in Israel to be targeted.
The IDF says Yassin worked closely with Hezbollah’s rocket, missile, and drone units, and was “personally involved in terror plots that were carried out from the beginning of the war against civilians and soldiers, and planned additional attacks in the coming days.”
Fighter jets carried out the strike on a site in Dahiyeh, killing Yassin.
