A Hezbollah commander was killed in a drone strike in southern Lebanon overnight, the IDF says.
According to the military, the strike near Deir ez-Zahrani killed Muhammad Ali Jamoul, the commander of Hezbollah’s rocket unit in the Beaufort Castle area.
The IDF says Jamoul advanced numerous rocket attacks on Israel during the war, and was recently involved in attempting to restore Hezbollah infrastructure in the area.
His actions “constituted a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military adds.
