Another Hezbollah commander responsible for recent attacks in Northern Israel was reportedly killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

On Sunday morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that the Israel Air Force (IAF) had killed Farouk Amin Alasi, the Hezbollah commander of the Khiam area.

Alasi was responsible for carrying out numerous anti-tank missile and rocket attacks against Israeli communities in the Galilee Panhandle, with a particular focus on Metula.

In the Khiam area, Yousef Ahmad Nun, a Radwan Forces company commander, was killed by the IDF. He was responsible for launching rocket and anti-tank missile attacks against Israeli communities in the Galilee area and IDF troops operating in the area.

The IDF reported that two Hezbollah leaders responsible for over 400 attacks on Israel in October were killed one day after the claim.

The IDF continues to engage in military operations in southern Lebanon, eliminating Radwan Forces and Hezbollah terrorists through aerial strikes and close-quarters combat. Additionally, the troops discovered significant quantities of Hezbollah weaponry.

With the guidance of IDF Intelligence, the IAF killed Raafat Ibrahim Mahmoud Akdeih, a Nukhba terrorist who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack. During the war, Akdieh served as an aide to the commander of Islamic Jihad Nukhba forces in the Khan Yunis Brigade.

Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon are being targeted by IDF soldiers through limited, localized, and targeted raids. The troops are working with the IAF to locate weapons and eliminate terrorists while damaging Hezbollah's infrastructure.

In Jabaliya, Gaza, IDF soldiers continue operational activity, resulting in the elimination of dozens of terrorists through aerial and ground operations. Meanwhile, in Rafah and central Gaza, the troops are focused on dismantling terror infrastructure and locating weapons.

On Thursday, Hezbollah forces launched a deadly attack in northern Israel, prompting Israel to respond with an attack on Friday.

An Israeli farmer and four foreign agricultural workers were killed in the first attack in Metula, a town on the Israel-Lebanon border. In the second reported attack from Hezbollah, two people died near Haifa.
