The Israeli military eliminated the commander in the Hezbollah Radwan force's anti-tank missile unit Riad Rida Ghazzawi in the al-Sultaniyah village in southern Lebanon, it said in a statement on Monday.
Late in September, Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah with an air strike in Beirut’s southern suburbs, in the biggest blow to Hezbollah in decades.
Despite growing pressure from the United States and others in the international community for a cease-fire in Gaza and Lebanon, intensified Israeli strikes against the Hezbollah militant group are expanding beyond Lebanon’s border areas. Israel is also fighting a seemingly endless war against Hamas in northern Gaza.
Since the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah erupted last year, at least 2,900 people have been killed and more than 13,150 wounded in Lebanon, the Health Ministry reports. Health authorities say that a quarter of those killed were women and children.
