Israeli military claims to have killed Hezbollah commander in Lebanon

The Israeli military claimed that it killed Abdul Harb, a commander in Hezbollah’s engineering unit, in a strike last week, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.

The Lebanese group has not confirmed the killing.

In a statement, the military claimed Harb was involved in assembling and activating explosives aimed at Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon.

It described him as a senior Hezbollah commander who had been involved in attacks on Israeli forces since the 2006 Lebanon war.

The Israeli army also said its air force struck and destroyed a launcher overnight, claiming Hezbollah fighters had used it to fire rockets at Israeli forces in southern Lebanon.
