The Israeli military killed “the terrorist Farouk Amin Alasi, the Hezbollah commander of the Khiam area,” it said on Sunday.
“Alasi was responsible for the execution of many anti-tank missile and rocket attacks toward Israeli communities in the Galilee Panhandle, and especially Metula,” the tweet said.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also eliminated “the terrorist Yousef Ahmad Nun, a Radwan Forces company commander in the Khiam area who was responsible for rocket and anti-tank missile attacks toward Israeli communities in the Galilee area and IDF troops operating in the area,” the military said.
Hezbollah has not yet commented on the two men said to have been killed. Khiam, close to the border with Israel, is the site of ongoing fighting between the Israeli military and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
The IDF also “eliminated Radwan forces and other Hezbollah terrorists through air strikes and close combat,” it said in a statement that added soldiers also found large stocks of Hezbollah weapons.
