The military said the strike killed Suhail Husseini, who it said was responsible for overseeing logistics, budget and management of the group. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah.
Sheikh Naim Kassem, the acting leader of Hezbollah, said in a defiant televised statement that his group's military capabilities are still intact. He said that Hezbollah has replaced all of its senior commanders after weeks of heavy Israeli airstrikes across large parts of Lebanon, including targeted strikes that killed much of its top command in a matter of days.
Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired a barrage of rockets into Israel on Monday, the anniversary of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, underscoring Prime Minister Netanyahu's declaration that the Israeli military will continue its operation until Hamas is completely defeated.
A year ago, Hamas-led terrorists blew holes in Israel’s security fence and stormed into army bases and farming communities, murdering more than 1200 Israeli men, women and children and abducting another 250. They are still holding about 100 captives inside Gaza, a third of whom are believed to be dead.
Israel is now at war with Hamas in Gaza and its terrorist ally Hezbollah in Lebanon, which began firing rockets at Israel on Oct. 8, 2023.
