The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Monday, in a post on X, that they eliminated a high-ranking Hezbollah officer named Hassan Hussein Salami during their operations in Lebanon. This action was taken in retaliation for the group's downing of a drone.
According to the military, "Salami was part of Hezbollah's Nasser Unit and commanded recent terrorist activities by Hezbollah against Israeli civilians and soldiers, including anti-tank missile launches toward Kiryat Shmona and the headquarters of the 769th Brigade."
