The operations officer of Hezbollah’s Jouaiyya regional unit, Abbas Ibrahim Hamza Hamada, also known as Fadl Ibrahim, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Thursday, the IDF announced.
Fadl Ibrahim was killed in a drone strike in the town of Deir Kifa in southern Lebanon.
According to the IDF, he was responsible for operations in the Jouaiyya area and for planning and executing attacks against Israel. He commanded Hezbollah’s ground forces in Jouaiyya and had been working to enhance Hezbollah’s ground combat capabilities in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah confirmed his death but did not refer to him as a commander. Fadl Ibrahim’s death brings the terror group’s toll amid the ongoing war to at least 349.
In a related action, the IDF reported that its fighter jets struck a Hezbollah surface-to-air missile launcher in Rihan, which was deemed a threat to Israeli aircraft.
