IDF Strike Takes Out Two Senior Hezbollah Terrorists

The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday said it killed two senior members of Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group that has been launching rockets and missiles at northern Israel.

Hassin Ali Ezkol, a high-ranking official in Hezbollah's aerial defense unit, and another unnamed senior Hezbollah terrorist were killed during a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon, the IDF announced, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Hezbollah has since retaliated by launching a drone attack on Israeli military bases in northwest Israel, marking its deepest incursion into the Jewish state since Hamas's Oct. 7 terrorist attack. The IDF, however, said the drone attack did not hit any facility in Israel.

Since Oct. 7., Israeli strikes have eliminated around 270 Hezbollah fighters, including nearly a dozen senior commanders. Israeli forces last week killed Ismail Yusef Baz, a Hezbollah commander who served in the terrorist group for decades and oversaw some of the group’s missile launches and other terror operations against Israel.
