Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, reveals the name of the Hezbollah commander who directed the deadly rocket attack on Majdal Shams.

He says the attack was directed by Ali Muhammad Yahya, who is the commander of a rocket launching site in the Chebaa area in southern Lebanon.

“Despite its attempts to deny: Hezbollah is responsible for the massacre in Majdal Shams and the killing of children and boys on the soccer field,” Adraee adds.
