IDF’s targeted strike in southern Lebanon claims the lives of senior Hezbollah operatives, Ali Muhammad al-Debes and deputy Hassan Ibrahim Issa. Al-Debes, a mastermind behind the March 2023 bombing at Megiddo Junction, orchestrated numerous anti-Israel attacks. Israel’s Defense Minister implies a robust response, heightening tensions. The strike, directed at a Hezbollah facility in Nabatieh, eliminates al-Debes’ threat. Lebanese authorities confirm casualties, including civilians and Hezbollah members. Amidst the ongoing border conflict, IDF justifies its actions as necessary for Israeli security. Hezbollah condemns the strike, vowing retaliation.
