The Israel Defense Forces on Friday struck and killed Hezbollah terrorist Ahmad Naeem Maatouk, just north of the Litani River in the area of Sir El Gharbiyeh in Southern Lebanon.

Maatouk was a battalion staff commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and was involved in planning and carrying out attacks against Israel during the current war, the IDF said.

“The terrorist’s actions constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” according to the military.
