An Israeli airstrike delivered by Israel Air Force fighter jets eliminated Ali Ahmed Hassin, the commander of Hezbollah’s Radwan forces in the Hajir region of southern Lebanon, the IDF reported on Monday.
Earlier, Reuters cited security forces who said that two others were also killed in the strike, which took place in the area of Sultaniyeh.
Three Hezbollah operatives killed
The IDF stated that the other two individuals hit were Hezbollah operatives under Hassin's command.
According to the IDF, Hassin, a senior operative of the Lebanon-based terror organization, held a rank equivalent to that of a brigade commander.
The military further reported that Hassin was responsible for planning and executing terror attacks against Israeli residents in the North.
Among the attacks orchestrated by the Hezbollah Radwan Forces commander were numerous rocket launches directed at Israeli territory.
