Israel’s military said it killed a Hezbollah missile unit commander and his deputy during a strike in southern Lebanon earlier in the week.
The military said in a statement that its air forces killed Muhammad Ali Ismail, who it said was responsible for directing “numerous terror attacks” against Israel, including the firing of rockets towards Israeli territory.
The Tuesday strike also killed the commander’s deputy, Hussein Ahmad Ismail, it said.
There was no immediate confirmation from Hezbollah.
