Ali Hassan Shaib was actively involved in exposing the locations of Israeli soldiers during ongoing operations
The Israeli military said Saturday it carried out a targeted strike in Lebanon that killed Ali Hassan Shaib, whom it identified as a member of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force intelligence unit who operated under the guise of a journalist to support attacks against Israeli forces.
According to the IDF, Shaib was affiliated with Hezbollah’s Radwan Force and worked for years posing as a journalist for the Al-Manar network while gathering intelligence on Israeli troop positions in southern Lebanon and along the border.
The military said he maintained ongoing contact with other terrorists in the Radwan Force and across the broader Hezbollah organization.
