Southern Lebanon – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck and killed two Hezbollah militants early on Saturday in southern Lebanon, targeting threats to Israeli territory.

The first militant, Mohammad Ali Hadid, commander of Hezbollah’s “Quwwat Radwan” unit in the Nabatiyeh area, was neutralized in an operation led by the IDF’s Northern Command with air force support. Hadid had advanced multiple terrorist plots against Israel and recently worked on restoring Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure.

Earlier the same day, a second Hezbollah militant was killed in the Ayta al-Shaab area during an operation conducted by the IDF’s 91st Division with air support. This militant had been observed gathering intelligence on Israeli forces in the region.

The activities of both militants were considered violations of agreements between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF stated it will continue operations to eliminate any threats to the State of Israel.
