A senior commander in Hezbollah’s drone unit was killed in a recent airstrike in Lebanon, the IDF announces.
According to the military, Ali Barakat was a “significant source of knowledge” in Hezbollah’s aerial forces, known as Unit 127, which is responsible for drone and cruise missile attacks on Israel.
The IDF says Barakat spent over a decade planning and carrying out dozens of drone attacks on Israel, and was involved in developing drones and cruise missiles for Hezbollah.
