Israel Kills Three Hezbollah Commanders, 70 Fighters in …

Israel’s military says it killed three Hezbollah commanders and approximately 70 members in southern Lebanon in the last 48 hours, following confirming the death of Hashem Safieddine, the militant group’s heir apparent leader.

“In southern Lebanon, IDF troops continue conducting limited, localised, targeted raids against Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure and operatives,” the Israel Defense Force (IDF) said in a statement.

“Over the past day, the troops eliminated approximately 70 terrorists in ground and aerial strikes,” according to this report.

On Wednesday, Israel expanded its evacuation orders to numerous central neighborhoods in Tyre, a southern Lebanese port city, urging citizens to flee north of the city.

Israel has launched an increasing offensive in Lebanon following a year of border battles with Hezbollah, Iran’s most powerful proxy group in the Middle East.

Israel’s offensive has displaced at least 1.2 million Lebanese and killed 2,530 people, including at least 63 in the last 24 hours, according to the Lebanese government on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the IDF said it had confirmed the killing of Hashem Safieddine, the heir apparent to its leader Hassan Nasrallah who was killed in an Israeli attack last month.

The military said Safieddine was killed in a strike carried out three weeks ago in Beirut’s southern suburbs, its first confirmation of his death. Earlier this month, Israel said he had probably been eliminated.
