Hezbollah commander killed
Israel claims to have killed senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon
The Israeli military on Sunday claimed it has killed Abu Hassan Alaa, a senior commander of Hezbollah’s “Badder Unit,” during an operation in southern Lebanon.
In a statement posted on X, the military accused Alaa of coordinating attacks against Israeli troops, specifically citing his involvement in the launch of explosive drones targeting soldiers in southern Lebanon. The strike was carried out in response to Hezbollah’s recent actions against Israeli personnel within the designated “Security Zone”, Israeli military said.

This claim follows reports from just hours earlier in which Israel said it had killed another Hezbollah commander, Ali Samir al-Haj Hassan, in a strike on the southern village of Ansar.
Local reports indicated that at least seven people, including two women and three children, were killed during that specific strike in Ansar.
