The IDF said it carried out a series of targeted strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday and into the night, eliminating two senior Hezbollah terrorists and later expanding attacks on additional military infrastructure used to rebuild the terrorist group’s capabilities.

According to the military, the first strike targeted the al-Bazourieh area in southern Lebanon, where the IDF said it killed terrorist Mohammad al-Husseini, identified as Hezbollah’s artillery commander in the village of Arzoun.

The IDF said al-Husseini was simultaneously employed as a teacher at a Lebanese school in the village while serving in the terrorist organization.

During the war, the IDF said, al-Husseini advanced “numerous firing plans” against Israel and IDF forces, and in recent weeks worked “to restore Hezbollah’s artillery capabilities” in southern Lebanon.

In a separate strike carried out in the Bir a-Sanasel area, the IDF said it eliminated terrorist Jawad Basma, a Hezbollah terrorist who was active at a weapons production site.

The military said the terrorists’ activity “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” and stressed it will “continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel.”

Later Sunday night, the IDF announced an additional round of strikes across Lebanon, saying it was “striking military infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in several areas across Lebanon.”

In a follow-up statement Monday morning, the IDF said the overnight strikes targeted infrastructure used in Hezbollah’s rehabilitation efforts, including weapons depots and other military sites.

The military said it also struck a military structure established at a camp previously used by Hezbollah’s Radwan Force to advance planned attacks against IDF troops and Israel.

The IDF reiterated that Hezbollah’s activity at the targeted sites “constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon” and poses a threat to Israel, adding that it will continue operating to remove any threat to the country.
