The Palestinian Islamic Jihad says a member from Syria was killed in southern Lebanon today while “performing jihad.”

Muhammad Mahmoud Musa, 41, is believed to have been killed in an Israeli airstrike.

The IDF said it struck three terror cells in southern Lebanon today that were involved in rocket and missile fire on military positions and Israeli towns.

At least six Israeli soldiers, 17 Hezbollah terrorists, and six Palestinian terrorists have been killed in skirmishes on the border during the last two weeks. One Israeli civilian was killed in a Hezbollah attack, and several Lebanese civilians and a journalist were also reported killed by Israeli shelling.
