Defense Minister Israel Katz hails the killing of a prominent member of Hezbollah’s aerial forces in an IDF airstrike this evening.

“As I warned, if there are drones, there will be no Hezbollah,” Katz says in a statement after Abbas Ahmad Hamoud was killed in southern Lebanon.

“We will not allow drone launches toward Israel. The launch of the drones crosses a red line and is a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon,” he adds.

Hamoud was behind recent drone launches toward Israel amid the ongoing ceasefire, according to the IDF.
