The IDF says it eliminated a top operative in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force in a drone strike a short while ago in southern Lebanon’s Kounine.
Ismail Ali al-Zin, according to the IDF, was a senior commander in Radwan’s anti-tank missile unit.
The IDF describes al-Zin as a “significant source of knowledge regarding anti-tank missiles and was responsible for dozens of anti-tank missile attacks against Israeli civilians, communities and security forces.”
The IDF releases footage of the strike on al-Zin’s vehicle.
