The commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force’s anti-tank-missile unit was killed in an airstrike in the Nabatieh area in Southern Lebanon, the IDF announced on Monday afternoon.

Muhammad Kamel Naeem was responsible for planning and carrying out many terrorist attacks, including anti-tank missile attacks against Israeli civilians, the army said.

The latest IDF data published earlier this month shows that more than 800 Hezbollah terrorists have been killed, including 90 commanders, since the Iranian proxy joined the war in support of Hamas on Oct. 8, 2023.

(The official tally does not include last month’s deadly communication device explosions targeting Hezbollah operatives, which Jerusalem has not taken responsibility for.)

However, an Iranian official said the chances of a memorandum being signed in the next 24 hours are slim.
The IDF will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and Samaria, Israel’s defense minister pledged.
Twenty-three Glock pistols, three Kalashnikov rifles, one M16 rifle and additional weapons were seized.
Two of the operatives were platoon commanders in the PIJ terror group and the other was a deputy company commander in Hamas.
The two nations agreed to hold “a bilateral political dialogue,” Israel’s FM said.
