The IDF says it eliminated the deputy commander of Hezbollah’s rocket unit in a drone strike in southern Lebanon earlier today.
Ali Naim was struck while in a car in the town of Bazouriye, close to Tyre, this morning.
According to the IDF, Naim is “considered to be a significant source of knowledge in the terror group, and leader in the field of rockets.”
“He was also one of the leaders for heavy-warhead rocket fire and responsible for conducting and planning attacks against Israeli civilians,” the IDF says.
Hezbollah also announced his death a short while ago, but did not call him a commander.
The IDF releases footage of the strike.
