The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday that it has successfully eliminated Khader Al-Abed Bahja, a key commander of Hezbollah's Aerial Unit. Bahja was responsible for overseeing operations north of the Litani River, a strategic area in the region.
The IDF stated that the operation, carried out a few days ago, was aimed at disrupting terrorist activities and removing high-ranking leaders within Hezbollah's military structure. \"The IDF will continue to thwart terrorist activity and eliminate the commanders of Hezbollah's Aerial Unit,\" the statement read.
As of now, Hezbollah has not provided an immediate confirmation of Bahja's status. This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, highlighting the persistent volatility in the region.
