The Israeli army’s Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced on Friday that the Israeli army had eliminated Qassem Salah al-Husseini, an operative working for Iran’s Quds Force, in a drone attack on his vehicle in Khaldeh.
Thursday’s strike also injured three other individuals.
Adraee wrote on his X account, “Yesterday, the Israeli army attacked with precise intelligence guidance and eliminated Qassem Salah al-Husseini, a Lebanese terrorist who was working to promote terrorist plans against the citizens of Israel and the Israeli army on the northern front, at the behest of the Iranian Quds Force.”
He added, “Al-Husseini was a key element in the network smuggling weapons from Iran via Syria to several areas on the northern front, as well as in Judea and Samaria. He operated under the direction of the Quds Force and participated in attempts to smuggle weapons into Israel to carry out terrorist plots.”
Adraee described the elimination of al-Husseini as “a blow to the ability of various terrorist organizations on the northern front and in the Judea and Samaria regions to grow.”
He stressed that the army and the General Security Service would continue to work to thwart any threat to the security of Israel’s citizens.
