The IDF on Monday confirmed that it struck and killed Ahmad Ali Salami, who served as Hezbollah’s head of artillery in the Yanouh area of Lebanon.
Regarding reports that Lebanese civilians were killed in the strike, the IDF confirmed that the incident is currently under review.
"The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians and operates to minimize harm as much as possible," the military stated.
The military, in a separate strike, killed a Hezbollah terrorist in the Ayta ash-Shaab area of southern Lebanon. The terrorist was involved in gathering intelligence on IDF soldiers operating in the region, as well as operating to rehabilitate Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure.
Additionally, IDF troops carrying out a targeted raid on a structure in southern Lebanon apprehended a senior operative from the Jamaa Islamiya - a Sunni Islamist group linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The suspect was transferred to Israeli territory for questioning, and weapons were located in the same building, according to the IDF.
The army said the operation followed intelligence indications gathered in recent weeks.
Lebanese media reported that the kidnapped officer was Atwi Atwi, a leader in the Jamaa Islamiya terrorist organization.
