The commander, Ismail al-Zin, worked in the anti-tank missile unit of Hezbollah’s Radwan forces.
Israel has killed a senior Hezbollah commander in an air strike in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military has said.
An Israeli warplane targeted Ismail al-Zin in a vehicle in the southern Lebanese village of Kounine on Sunday, the military said on Sunday.
In a statement on Telegram, the Lebanese armed group confirmed the death of al-Zin.
The Israeli military described al-Zin as a “significant commander” in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan forces’ anti-tank unit, which has conducted strikes into northern Israel.
“Al-Zin was a significant source of knowledge regarding anti-tank missiles and was responsible for dozens of anti-tank missile attacks against Israeli civilians, communities and security forces,” the military said in a post on Telegram.
