IDF eliminates top Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad commanders

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF), in the course of large-scale air and naval operations in the Beirut area against Hezbollah, neutralised key commanders of the group and of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the IDF announced on Telegram.

“Among the targets struck were terrorist infrastructure, weapons storage facilities, central headquarters, and the IRGC Air Force headquarters in Beirut.

So far, approximately 70 terrorist targets have been struck in the Beirut area, including buildings that were used by Hezbollah for terrorist purposes.

The Hezbollah terrorist organisation has embedded its terrorist infrastructure in the heart of Beirut under the cover of the civilian population.

Over the past week, the IDF evacuated residents from the Dahieh district, in order to ensure their safety.

During the strikes, several key terrorists in the area were eliminated, including:

• Adham Adnan al-Othman, commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation in the Lebanon arena.

 • Zaid Ali Juma, responsible for managing the firepower array of the Hezbollah terrorist organisation and the artillery commander in southern Lebanon.

 • Five senior commanders in the Lebanon Corps and Palestine Corps of the IRGC’s Quds Force,” the statement said.
