Amid near daily Hezbollah rocket, drone and missile attacks on the northern Israeli border communities, the Israel Defense Forces countered with a surgical strike that killed a senior Hezbollah commander.
JERUSALEM - The Lebanon-based Hezbollah terrorist movement on Wednesday pummeled Israel’s northern border, including Tiberias, where Jesus performed miracles, with rockets after the Jewish state eliminated a senior Hezbollah commander responsible for military operations. According to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces , the 'IDF struck a Hezbollah command and control center used to direct attacks from southeastern Lebanon and eliminated its commander, Sami Taleb Abdullah.
The IDF said on Tuesday 'A Hezbollah command and control center in the area of Jouaiyya in Southern Lebanon, which was used to direct terror attacks against Israeli territory from southeastern Lebanon in recent months, was struck by the IAF. As part of the strike, Sami Taleb Abdullah, the commander of the Nasr Unit in the Hezbollah terrorist organization, was eliminated. Sami Taleb Abdullah was one of Hezbollah's most senior commanders in southern Lebanon.
Last week, after Hezbollah rockets into Israel caused a massive outbreak of fires in the north, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Jewish state is 'prepared for very intense action in the north' in response to Hezbollah's continued rocket and drone attacks into northern Israel.
