The Israeli Air Force (IAF) on Wednesday carried out precision strikes in southern Lebanon, killing two senior militants linked to Hezbollah and its allied factions.
According to military sources, the IAF targeted and eliminated Al-Munim Musa Sweidan, a key Hezbollah operative in the Yater region. Sweidan, who served as the group’s local representative, was responsible for maintaining Hezbollah’s ties with village residents, handling financial and military affairs, and securing private assets for militant purposes. Investigations revealed that he had overseen the use of civilian homes for storing weapons and conducting surveillance operations.
In a separate strike, Israeli forces eliminated a member of the Lebanese Resistance Brigades, a Hezbollah-directed militia, in the Chebaa area of southern Lebanon. The Israeli military stated that the individual’s activities breached the long-standing understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
The latest strikes come amid heightened tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border, where Hezbollah and Israel have engaged in recurring exchanges of fire in recent months. The operations underscore Israel’s continued focus on disrupting Hezbollah’s local networks and preventing the militant group from consolidating power in southern Lebanon.
