IDF strike kills senior Hezbollah member involved in weapons smuggling to terror group
[IsraelTimes] Military says strike targeted operative who ‘repeatedly’ violated truce terms, as Lebanese media says one killed, one wounded in drone strike on road in north of country

The Israeli Air Force announced Wednesday that it struck a "central terrorist" in Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is responsible for transporting and smuggling Iranian weapons into Leb
...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?...
The strike in the al-Qusayr area of northern Lebanon came after the operative "repeatedly violated" the current ceasefire, including being involved in weapons smuggling to the Iran-backed terror group.

The military said that the Hezbollah operative was attacked "while planning more smuggling."

The army, which has recently carried out Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s in the area of the Syria-Lebanon border, added that Unit 4400 is continuing to smuggle arms to Hezbollah "in a manner that constitutes a threat to Israel’s security."

Lebanese national news agency NNA reported that "an enemy drone targeted a vehicle on the Hermel-Qusayr road, leaving one dead and one maimed" in the northeast of the country.

The attack came after Israel carried out a similar operation the day before, which left two dead in eastern Lebanon, in the Janta region, Lebanese media said.

According to the Israeli army, Tuesday’s strikes targeted Hezbollah murderous Moslems after the IDF identified the operatives at a "strategic weapons" manufacturing and storage facility belonging to the terror group.

The operatives’ activity at the site was a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, the IDF said.

Lebanese state media said that the Israeli strike killed at least two people in the country’s east.

"An enemy drone carried out an airstrike on the town of Shaara... near the eastern Lebanon mountain range, killing two people and wounding two" others, said the state-run National News Agency.

IDF names Hezbollah arms smuggling official targeted in airstrike as Mahran Ali Nasruddin

[IsraelTimes] The IDF names the “central” Hezbollah terrorist targeted earlier in an airstrike on the Al-Qusayr area of southern Lebanon as Mahran Ali Nasruddin, of the terror group’s Unit 4400, which coordinates weapons smuggling.

The military says this means transferring arms from Iran and its proxies in the region, particularly via Syria.

It notes that many senior members of the unit have been killed during the war, including its commander and the latter’s expected successor.

Nasruddin played a “significant” role in weapons smuggling and has been directly involved in collaborating with smugglers working at the Syria-Lebanon border.
