A senior Hezbollah commander was killed in a recent airstrike in the coastal Lebanese city of Tyre, the IDF announces.
The military names the commander as Ahmed Subhi Hazima, head of operations in Hezbollah’s coastal region of southern Lebanon.
Hazima, who replaced the previous commander after he was killed in a strike on November 17, had advanced numerous attacks against Israel from the western sector of southern Lebanon, including infiltrations and anti-tank missile attacks, the IDF says.
The military says his killing is another blow to the terror group’s capabilities.
