Israel Kills Two Hezbollah Leaders, Rockets Fly at North As Truce Rebuffed
An airstrike killed a senior Hezbollah leader in a strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Thursday afternoon, September 26, the military said, with fighting between Israel and the Iran-backed terror group showing little sign of slowing as an international bid to secure a ceasefire appeared to fall apart.
The strike in the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahiyeh targeted the head of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, Mohammed Srur, who is largely responsible for the terror group’s drone fleet along with cruise missiles and aerial defenses.
Lebanon’s health ministry said two people were killed in the attack. According to the military, Srur directed and commanded numerous and various aerial attacks on Israel, including explosive-laden drones and cruise missiles.
Meanwhile, another Hezbollah commander, who was overseeing the terrorists’ missile unit was also killed by an Israeli airstrike. Ibrahim Kobeisi, who is accused of coordinating the missile strikes targeting northern Israel, was identified among the six people killed following an airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Tuesday, IDF and Lebanese officials said.
The IDF said there were other “key commanders” at the apartment complex where Kobeisi was hit, with Lebanon’s ministry of health confirming that at least 15 others were injured in the blast.
At the same time, a Hezbollah official has told British media that the pager and radio explosions last week “put 1,500 fighters out of commission because of their injuries.” Many of those were either blinded or had their hands blown off in the explosions. (TOI / VFI News)
