A Hezbollah operative was killed in an air strike targeting the car he was riding in with two other individuals, in the locality of Aîn Baal, in the district of Tyre, less than two hours before Israel carried out a second deadly raid on two cars in Chehabiyé, in the same district.
In Ain Baal, Ismail Youssef, a Hezbollah commander for the coastal sector, was killed. The Israeli army announced on its Telegram account that it had liquidated him. The other two passengers were wounded. One of them, Hussein Qassem Krech, member of Amal, died later of wounds he sustained.
In Chehabiyé, two persons were killed in the raid, Mohamad Hussein Moustapha Chahouri and Mahmoud Ibrahim Fadlallah. Late in the evening, the Israeli army announced in a statement that Mohamad Chahouri was the commander of the rocket and missile unit within Hezbollah's elite al-Radwan force in the eastern and central sectors of Lebanon.
Hezbollah acknowledged earlier the death of one of its senior combatants in Aîn Baal, Ismail Yusaf Baz, code-named "Abu Jaafar."
The Israeli Army said earlier that its "air force struck and eliminated Ismail Yusaf Baz, the commander of Hezbollah’s coastal sector, in the area of Ain Ebel in Lebanon."
It said, Ismail served as a senior and veteran official in several positions of Hezbollah's military wing. His current rank is equivalent to a Brigade Commander. As part of his position, Ismail was involved in the promotion and planning of rocket and anti-tank missile launches toward Israel from the coastal area of Lebanon.
The attack occurred in the afternoon, as the exchange of artillery fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli Army intensified.
Israeli media reported "a drone-suicide attack from southern Lebanon against the Galilee finger, causing casualties." Israeli Channel 14 reported that "three Israelis were injured in the drone explosion at Beit Hillel, near Kiryat Shmona.”
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for "the air attack with two rounds of drones that dropped explosives on the Israeli missile defense system at Beit Hillel." According to the pro-Iranian group, "the Iron Dome platforms were hit directly, resulting in casualties.”
Hezbollah then announced the bombing of the Israeli barracks of Zebdine in Kfarchoubva, as well as the headquarters of the air control unit in Mayrun and the headquarters of another Israeli battalion, 769, while the Israeli Army shelled Khiam as well as Alma al-Shaab, where it targeted a house belonging to the Sayyah family.
The outskirts of Naqoura and Labbouneh were also bombed in the morning, while Israeli fighter jets flew at medium altitude over the north of the country.
A three-story building in Hanine was completely destroyed in a Monday night raid. The strike also caused extensive damage to nearby property, infrastructure, and houses, as well as to a number of vehicles.
