Israel says it killed senior Hezbollah artillery commander in Lebanon

The Israeli army claims it has killed Yassin Abdel Moneim Ezzedine, a senior Hezbollah artillery commander in the group’s Litani sector in southern Lebanon.

According to the military’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, Ezzedine was involved in planning attacks on Israeli targets and played a role in efforts to restore Hezbollah’s artillery capabilities.

Adraee said Ezzedine had “advanced numerous shooting plots towards Israel and has been involved in attempts to rebuild Hezbollah’s artillery forces.” Hezbollah has not yet commented on the reported killing.
