IDF claims it killed half of Hezbollah commanders in southern Lebanon

The two sides appear to be striking deeper and more effectively inside each other’s borders, while disputing their claims.

The Israeli military says it has assassinated more than half of all Hezbollah commanders in southern Lebanon, after artillery and fighter jets hit about 40 targets near the two countries’ border.

The Israel Defence Forces said the strikes around Ayta al-Shaab, about 3 kilometres inside the Lebanese border, had hit infrastructure including storage facilities and weapons in an area it said was used extensively by Hezbollah forces. On Wednesday, the movement held a funeral for a senior commander, Hussein Azkoul, killed earlier this week by Israel.
