The commander of Hezbollah’s coastal region in southern Lebanon was killed in an Israeli airstrike yesterday, along with another top member of the terror group, the IDF announces.

The military says that Moein Musa Izz al-Din, the commander of Hezbollah’s coastal regional unit, and Hassan Majed Diab, the commander of the unit’s artillery array, were killed in the strike yesterday in the Tyre area.

Diab was responsible for a rocket barrage on the Haifa Bay area on Thursday, which killed a mother and son, along with more than 400 other rockets in the past month, according to the IDF.
