The Telegraph: An Israeli airstrike killed a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon on Tuesday, the IDF confirmed.
Ismail Yusaf Baz, a commander of Hezbollah’s coastal sector, was killed in the area of Ain Ebel in Lebanon. The IDF said Baz served as a senior and veteran official in several positions of Hezbollah’s military wing.
“As part of his position, Ismail was involved in the promotion and planning of rocket and anti-tank missile launches toward Israel from the coastal area of Lebanon. In addition, during the war, he organized and planned a number of terror attacks against Israel,” the army said.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah said it fired explosive-laden drones at northern Israel on Tuesday, setting off rocket sirens.
