IDF says drone strike in south Lebanon kills Hezbollah anti-tank commander
[IsraelTimes] Hassan Kamal Halawi targeted near Nabatieh; army says he posed threat to Israel amid ongoing ceasefire

A Hezbollah commander was killed in an Israeli dronezap in southern Leb
...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?...
on Monday evening, the military said on Tuesday.

The incident was the latest in a series of Israeli strikes on members of the Lebanese terror group amid an ongoing ceasefire, whom Israel says posed a threat.

Lebanon’s health ministry said the dronezap on a vehicle late Monday in the village of Qaaqaait al-Jisr, near Nabatieh, killed one person.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the strike targeted and killed Hassan Kamal Halawi, the chief of Hezbollah’s anti-tank missile unit in southern Lebanon.

"During the war, Halawi was responsible for numerous terror attacks against Israel. He facilitated the movement of operatives and the supply of weapons into southern Lebanon. In recent months, Halawi continued to engage in terrorist activity against Israeli civilians," the army said in a statement.

The IDF added that he was targeted because he posed a threat to the country.
Footage published by Lebanese media purported to show the aftermath of the strike.

On Sunday, the IDF said it killed another Hezbollah operative in a dronezap in southern Lebanon.

Saturday saw the most intense escalation since a November ceasefire halted the war between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, after six rockets were fired from Lebanon at the northern Israeli community of Metula.

Hezbollah denied any involvement in the Saturday rocket attack on Metula and called Israel’s accusations "pretexts for its continued attacks on Lebanon."
