The Israel Defense Forces on Saturday killed Hassan Muhammad Hammoudi, the Hezbollah commander responsible for the Iranian-backed terrorist group’s anti-tank missile operations in the Bint Jbeil sector, the military said.

Hammoudi directed numerous anti-tank-missile attacks against Israel during the recent war. He was targeted in an airstrike in the area of Kounin in southeastern Lebanon, the army said. Both Bint Jbeil and Kounin are in the Nabatiyeh Governorate 

“The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat posed to the State of Israel,” the military added.
