Hezbollah terrorist eliminated: Wave of strikes in Lebanon after soldiers' injuries

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) carried out overnight strikes in the Ali Taher Ridge area of Lebanon. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, a senior commander in Hezbollah's Badr Unit, Abu Hassan Alaa, was eliminated during the strikes.

Explosions were also reported in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon, with Al Manar TV stating that the blasts were a result of Israeli air attacks in the area. The strikes follow a series of Israeli air attacks that killed 11 people, including three children, in southern Lebanon, as reported by The Vibes.

The Lebanese Prime Minister, Nawaf Salam, condemned the latest strikes, saying they intimidated civilians in their homes. Beirut warned that the strikes were undermining efforts to stabilise the region after the deadliest of such attacks occurred since a truce with Hezbollah took effect, as per The Vibes.
