A platoon commander in the Hezbollah terror group’s elite Radwan Force was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces said.

According to the IDF, the operative, Issa Ahmad Karbala, was involved in moving weapons around in Lebanon and advancing attacks against Israel.

The military said Karbala’s activities “constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”

He was targeted while riding a motorcycle in the town of Ain Qana. Lebanon’s health ministry confirmed that one person was killed in the strike.

The Radwan Force was previously tasked with invading Israel in a future war, and the IDF said the elite unit had advanced the terror group’s “Conquer the Galilee” plan for years, until the 2023-2024 war saw most of Hezbollah’s leadership eliminated.

On Monday, the IDF said it carried out airstrikes in southern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in the Nabatieh area.

“The Hezbollah terror organization continues its attempts to rebuild terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon,” the army said, adding that “the presence of terror infrastructure and the activity of the Hezbollah terror organization in the area constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
