Israel says it ‘eliminated’ Hezbollah logistics commander in Lebanon
Israel’s military said it eliminated a senior Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon in a Tuesday attack targeting the Iran-backed militia’s logistical operations.
The strike in the Nabatieh region “eliminated the terrorist Adnan Muhammad Sadiq Harb, the commander of the logistical support unit in Hezbollah’s Badr unit, which operates in the northern Litani area in Lebanon,” the Israeli military said in a post on Telegram.
Harb was responsible for supplying weapons to Hezbollah units and for rebuilding the group’s military infrastructure south of the Litani River, Israel’s military said, calling his activities a “blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
Since late November, a fragile ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel has been in place.
Under the terms of the truce, Hezbollah agreed to withdraw behind the Litani River — approximately 30 kilometres north of the Israeli-Lebanese border — while Israeli troops were to completely exit from southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese army is supposed to monitor compliance with the agreement.
