Commander of Hezbollah’s missile unit, his deputy killed in Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon, IDF confirms

Muhammad Ali Ismail, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Missile Unit in southern Lebanon, and his deputy, Hussein Ahmad Ismail, have been killed in a precise strike by the Israeli Air Force (IAF). Ali Ismail was once known for orchestrating various terrorist attacks against Israel, including the updated rocket firing and the launch of a surface-to-surface missile towards central Israel. This strike follows the elimination of Ibrahim Muhammad Qabisi, the Head of Hezbollah’s Missiles and Rockets Force, and other senior commanders of the unit.

A couple of the most updated strikes come hours after an initial Israeli attack on what it said was once Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut on Friday. That operation flattened various buildings in a densely populated area, killing as a minimum six people and wounding dozens of others, per Lebanon’s Health Ministry. Rescuers are still in quest of survivors and any to boot victims, warning the current death toll seriously is not final.
