The Israel Air Force conducted an airstrike on terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon on Friday morning, eliminating Hezbollah operative Araeb el Shoga, the IDF announced.
El Shoga, a key anti-tank commander in Hezbollah's Radwan Forces, was responsible for ongoing anti-tank missile attacks on northern Israel from the Meiss El Jabal area. The IDF noted his involvement in directing fire toward Israeli territory.
During the operation, Israeli forces also identified and targeted a missile launcher that had been prepared to fire at Israeli positions, neutralizing the threat before it could be used.
