The Israeli military said it has killed the commander of Hezbollah’s missile unit in southern Lebanon, Muhammad Ali Ismail, and his deputy, Hossein Ahmed Ismail, in fighter jet attacks.
The IDF made this claim on X on Saturday morning after Israeli fighter jets’ bombardment of Beirut’s southern suburbs overnight into Saturday, sending panicked families fleeing the area.
The IDF added that Muhammad Ali Ismail died alongside other commanders and terrorists of Hezbollah.
Hundreds of families crammed into vehicles and fled Beirut’s southern suburbs overnight after Israel’s strikes and warnings to evacuate.
Bottlenecks formed in the middle of the night on normally deserted streets of the capital, many of them in darkness due to power cuts.
“Muhammad Ali Ismail, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Missile Unit in southern Lebanon, and his deputy, Hussein Ahmad Ismail, were eliminated in a precise IAF strike,” the IDF said on X.
It further claimed that Ali Ismail has been responsible for numerous terrorist attacks against Israel.
The IDF said that such attacks include the firing of rockets toward Israeli territory and the launch of a surface-to-surface missile toward central Israel on Wednesday.
“This follows the elimination of the terrorist Ibrahim Muhammad Qabisi, Head of Hezbollah’s Missiles and Rockets Force, as well as other senior commanders of this unit,” IDF posted.
