A commander of Hezbollah was killed on April 15 when an Israeli strike targeted the town of Aitaroun in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported that “an Israeli drone carried out a strike this afternoon, targeting a car in the town of Aitaroun in Bint Jbeil district with three guided missiles.” From its side, the country’s health ministry said that a man was killed and three other people, including a child, were wounded.
Later, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced in a brief statement that the man killed in the strike was a cell commander in Hezbollah’s special operations unit.

Hezbollah joined the Palestinian Hamas Movement in its battle against Israel following the October 7 surprise attack of 2023. The IDF responded with an aerial campaign that later escalated into a full-on ground operation in southern Lebanon. The group paid a heavy price for supporting the Gaza Strip, losing all of its leadership and most of its military capabilities. To avoid more losses it agreed to a ceasefire last November.
The ceasefire, which was brokered by the U.S., was supposed to end all clashes on the Israeli-Lebanese border by February 18. However, the Israeli military continues to launch strikes against Hezbollah. It also maintains troops at five strategic points in southern Lebanon.
On April 15, the United Nations human rights office warned that civilians in Lebanon were still being killed in Israeli military operations.
“Israeli military operations in Lebanon continue to kill and injure civilians, and destroy civilian infrastructure, raising concerns regarding the protection of civilians,” the spokesperson for the United Nations Office for the High Commissioner of Human Rights, Thameen al-Kheetan, told reporters in Geneva.
Faced with unprecedented pressure, Hezbollah voiced its readiness to disarm and even withdrew from most of its positions in southern Lebanon in recent weeks. Despite this, Israel continues to escalate in what appears to be an attempt to completely neutralize the group.

sad indeed, from the looks of it hezbollah is slowly being wiped out, smh 😔 🤦
i want to know how in the world are these zionists able to pin point the exact locations of hamas and hezbollah leaders that have been assassinated? are they using a crystal ball combined with some sort of tech?
the cradle did an article a few weeks ago on breaches within hezbollah. it contrasted with hamas who avoid targeted killings for most part. ironically it said hamas from time in jail in israel are better educated more electronic sophisticated etc. hezbollah has got lax apparently and lazy, infilitrated through syria etc by the israelis.
jews can be found everywhere in the middle east posing as iraqis, or syrians and lebenese and accepted by the local population as one of them and from where they can be jewish to the core and report home to tel aviv – treason is after all a significant trait of the jews and that is why they must be eliminated, full stop!
the cradle is usually junk
because they own every phone company in existence. even in your country.
the pager attacks were a great success for zionist . a tragedy for the world
big deal lebanon is irrelevant.trump has announced the withdrawal of us troops from syria. this time ladysissy graham can’t stop it. rojava is kaput.
h was all tough talk, but when it’s show time, they are mia.
israel kill anyone and say they where hezbollah commander or hezbollah soldier. . israeli lies all the time . the only source can confirm is hezbollah itself
oy vey. it’s not terrorism when jews slaughter people.
only one thing will satisfy the world sans the jews, and that is netanyahu’s mangled body in pieces to br paraded across the world as witness thatvthe jews can be beaten to a pulp and then disappeared!
all 10 year old males are hezbollah special commanders to israel
hahaha haha 🇷🇺=🏃♂️🤡 😆😆😆
