Another Hezbollah Commander assumes room temperature
|
 [IsraelTimes] Lebanese media reported one dead in an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in the town of Ain Baal, near Tyre, about 15 kilometers (nine miles) from the Israel border.
The IDF later confirmed it had carried out the strike, saying it targeted and killed the commander of Hezbollah's coastal region
The Israeli military and Lebanon’s Hezbollah exchanged fire on Tuesday, with the terror group launching two attack drones at northern Israel as a top commander behind recent attacks was killed in an airstrike.
Three people were lightly hurt in the Hezbollah drone attack, according to media reports and local authorities.
The Israel Defense Forces said the two explosive-laden drones struck areas near the northern community of Beit Hillel.
Hezbollah claimed to have targeted an Iron Dome battery in the area. The terror group has made similar claims in recent months, which have been dismissed by the IDF as empty boasts.
The IDF said it was investigating why sirens did not sound during the attack.
Footage circulating on social media purported to show one of the drones flying over the Galilee Panhandle.
Shortly after the drone attack, Lebanese media reported one dead in an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in the town of Ain Baal, near Tyre, about 15 kilometers (nine miles) from the Israel border.
The IDF later confirmed it had carried out the strike, saying it targeted and killed the commander of Hezbollah’s coastal region.
Ismail Yousef Baz, whose rank is equivalent to a brigade commander, was "a senior and veteran official in the military wing of Hezbollah," holding several positions, the latest being the commander of the coastal region, the army said.
Baz was the sixth Hezbollah officer with a rank equivalent to a brigade commander to be killed by Israel in recent months, according to the IDF. The military has said that more than 30 Hezbollah commanders have been killed in its strikes in the past six months.
