Israeli Army Arabic spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, announced Thursday on his X account that the army had conducted a strike in the Nabatiyeh area of southern Lebanon, killing Mohammad Ahmad Khreis, identified as the commander of the anti-tank missile unit within the Hezbollah compound in Shebaa.

“During the ongoing conflict, Khreis was reportedly behind several rocket launch plans targeting Israel. He was allegedly continuing to plan attacks in southern Lebanon in violation of previous understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
