IDF strikes senior Hezbollah member involved in weapons smuggling to terror group

The Israeli Air Force, a short while ago, struck a “central terrorist” in Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is responsible for transporting and smuggling Iranian weapons into Lebanon, the IDF says.

The strike in the al-Qusayr area of southern Lebanon came after the operative “repeatedly violated” the current ceasefire, including being involved in weapons smuggling to the Iran-backed terror group. He was attacked “while planning more smuggling.”

The army, which has recently carried out airstrikes in the area of the Syria-Lebanon border, adds that Unit 4400 is continuing to smuggle arms to Hezbollah “in a manner that constitutes a threat to Israel’s security.”
