The Israeli military confirmed that it conducted an airstrike in south Beirut, which resulted in the death of Muhammad Sarour, the commander of Hezbollah’s drone unit.
The strike on Thursday followed detailed intelligence obtained by the Air Force and the Intelligence Division.
According to a military statement, Israeli fighter jets executed a precision strike targeting Sarour, effectively neutralizing the head of Hezbollah’s air operations. The military emphasized that the strike was guided by precise intelligence, leading to the successful elimination of a key figure within Hezbollah’s military hierarchy.
This development marks a significant event in the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, highlighting the strategic capabilities of the Israeli military to act on intelligence and conduct targeted operations against key adversarial figures. The loss of Srur, a pivotal member of Hezbollah’s drone operations, could represent a substantial setback for the group’s aerial capabilities.
