Several Hezbollah field commanders were killed in recent Lebanon airstrikes, IDF says

Several Hezbollah field commanders were killed in recent airstrikes in southern Lebanon, the military says.

According to the IDF, in early October, a strike carried out by fighter jets killed Muhammad Musa Salah, who is identified as the commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the Khiam region of southern Lebanon. (Another Hezbollah commander responsible specifically for the town of Khiam was killed earlier this month).

Salah was responsible for over 2,500 rocket launches at the Golan Heights, Upper Galilee and Galilee Panhandle during the war, as well as attacks on IDF troops in south Lebanon, the military says.

Another strike on Sunday killed Ayman Muhammad Nabulsi, who the IDF identifies as the commander of Hezbollah’s anti-tank missile unit in the Hajjar regional unit, which is responsible for attacks on northern Israel’s Ramim Ridge region. (Another commander of the anti-tank unit was killed late last month in a separate strike).

Separate strikes killed Hajj Ali Yussef Salah, the commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the village of Kfar Tebnit, and another unnamed commander responsible for the Ghajar area, the military adds.
