The IDF said it carried out two targeted strikes in southern Lebanon earlier Sunday, eliminating senior Hezbollah terrorists involved in artillery and weapons production activity.

In the first strike, the IDF said it targeted the al-Bazourieh area and killed terrorist Mohammad al-Husseini, identified as Hezbollah’s artillery commander in the village of Arzoun.

According to the military, al-Husseini was simultaneously employed as a teacher at a Lebanese school in the village while serving in the terrorist organization.

The IDF said that during the war he advanced “numerous firing plans” against Israel and IDF forces, and in recent weeks worked “to restore Hezbollah’s artillery capabilities” in southern Lebanon.

In a separate strike carried out earlier Monday in the Bir a-Sanasel area, the IDF said it eliminated terrorist Jawad Basma, a Hezbollah terrorist who was active at a weapons production site.

The IDF stressed that the terrorists’ activity “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” and said it will “continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel.”

Later Sunday night, the IDF announced an additional round of strikes across Lebanon, saying it was “striking military infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in several areas across Lebanon.”
