The Israeli military has reported the successful elimination of a key Hezbollah drone operative in an airstrike conducted in eastern Lebanon. The targeted individual, Khalil Mohammed Amhaz, was a significant member of the militant group's aerial unit, known for his expertise in drone warfare.
The operation took place in the Baalbek area, where Amhaz was located at the time of the strike. The Israeli military confirmed the outcome of the mission on Wednesday, highlighting the strategic importance of neutralizing such a high-profile figure within Hezbollah's ranks.
Hezbollah, the Lebanese-based militant organization, has not issued any official statement in response to the reported incident. This development comes in the wake of recent military actions by the Israeli forces targeting Hezbollah commanders in various regions of southern Lebanon.
According to the Israeli military, three other Hezbollah commanders were killed in separate operations carried out in the Jibchit, Jouaiya, and Qana areas over the past two days. Despite these losses, Hezbollah has remained silent on the matter, refraining from confirming or denying the reported deaths.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah continues to escalate, with both sides engaging in targeted strikes and countermeasures. The elimination of Khalil Mohammed Amhaz represents a significant blow to Hezbollah's capabilities in the realm of drone warfare, underscoring the intensity of the military confrontation in the region.
