Hezbollah commander killed in Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon

A Hezbollah commander responsible for anti-tank guided missile fire on northern Israel was killed in a drone strike on Wednesday.

According to IDF, Hassan Fares Jeshi was killed in an airstrike in southern Lebanon’s Jouaiyya.

“The IDF attacked and eliminated, using an air force aircraft, the terrorist Hassan Fars Jashi in the Joya region of southern Lebanon, who served as a commander in the anti-tank field in the terrorist organization Hezbollah,” the IDF posted on X.

The IDF further said that Israeli Air Force planes earlier on Wednesday attacked Hezbollah military buildings in the Itatron area, alongside artillery fire to remove a threat in various areas in southern Lebanon.

In June, Hezbollah had fired anti-tank missiles, striking two houses in the Metula area of northern Israel, causing fires in the area.

According to Israel’s Army Radio, two houses on the border with Metula were directly hit by anti-tank missiles, causing fires.

The radio said there were no immediate reports of casualties.

Taking responsibility for the strikes, Hezbollah said in a statement that its fighters “targeted buildings used by enemy soldiers in the Metula settlement with appropriate weapons, directly hitting them and causing them to catch fire.”
