IDF kills Hezbollah terrorist who worked as school teacher amid Lebanon strikes

The Israel Defense Forces said it struck and killed two key Hezbollah operatives in strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday.

"In Bazouriye, the IDF struck and eliminated the terrorist Muhammad al-Husseini, Hezbollah’s Head of Artillery in the Arzoun village in southern Lebanon. Simultaneously to his involvement in terrorist activity, al-Husseini worked as a school teacher. Al-Husseini advanced numerous terror attacks against the State of Israel and IDF troops during the war, and recently took part in attempts to restore Hezbollah’s artillery abilities in southern Lebanon," the militarry said.

Another strike "in the Bir al-Sansal area in southern Lebanon, the IDF eliminated the terrorist Jawad Basma, a Hezbollah terrorist who operated at a weapons manufacturing site."

As usual after strikes against Hezbollah, the IDF stressed that "the terrorist's activities constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon. The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel."
