Senior Hezbollah commander and deputy killed in targeted IDF strike in south Lebanon
|
[IsraelTimes] Ali Muhammad al-Debes of elite Radwan Force oversaw March 2023 attack at Megiddo Junction; defense minister says Israel has stepped up attacks by ’one level out of 10’.
The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday it had eliminated a senior Hezbollah commander in the terror group’s elite Radwan Force responsible for a March 2023 bombing in northern Israel, along with his lover deputy, in a strike in southern Leb
 ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
the previous night. The IDF said its fighter jets struck a building used by Hezbollah in Nabatieh, killing Ali Muhammad al-Debes and his deputy Hassan Ibrahim Issa.
According to the IDF, al-Debes, a commander in the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, was one of the criminal masterminds behind a bombing attack at Israel’s Megiddo Junction that seriously injured a man, and planned and carried out other attacks against Israel, including amid the ongoing border conflict.
Does that mean the Hezbollah attacks will stop, now that he’s dead? Lebanese officials have said 10 people were killed in the strike, including three Hezbollah men and seven civilians in one family.
Members of the Hezbollah men’s families? A Lebanese security official said the Hezbollah members were on the ground floor of the building hit, while the family was on the floor above.
Al-Debes had previously been targeted and maimed in an Israeli strike in the southern Lebanon town of Nabatieh a week earlier, a Lebanese security source told AFP, requesting anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media. Lebanese media reports said he was responsible for Paleostinian affairs in the terror group.
Hussein Ahmad Aqeel, 36, from Jebbayn was listed by Hezbollah as another operative killed.
The wave of strikes on Wednesday came in response to a Hezbollah rocket attack on an army installation and city in northern Israel that killed an IDF soldier and injured eight others.
Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
amid the war there.
Fighting persisted on Thursday, with a barrage of 14 projectiles fired at Kiryat Shmona in the evening, including two anti-tank missiles and 12 rockets, Channel 12 news reported. Police said a rocket fell within the city, causing property damage but no injuries. The rocket fire set off sirens in the city and led to electricity outages in some parts of the city, the Ynet news site reported.
Earlier in the day, projectiles were fired along other northern communities, including three anti-tank missiles fired at the Shtula and a rocket at Mount Dov. No injuries were reported in the incidents.
The IDF said it struck dozens of Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon due to the ongoing fire. Targets hit by fighter jets included rocket launching positions, buildings, and other infrastructure used by the terror group in the Wadi Saluki area, according to the IDF. Earlier Thursday, the IDF said it also struck Hezbollah infrastructure in Labbouneh, and overnight hit a building used by the terror group in Taybeh.
Earlier, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said he’d updated US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin about the situation on the northern border.
"The State of Israel will not tolerate attacks on its citizens. We will ensure security and the safe return of our communities to the north, and are prepared to do so via diplomatic or military means," he said.
Hezbollah has named 201 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 29 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 30 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.
The fighting has also displaced tens of thousands of people in the border areas of each country.
