The IDF killed three Hezbollah commanders in its latest attack in Baalbek, Lebanon, on Friday, according to a report by Saudi media outlet al-Hadath.
The commanders killed in the Baalbek strike were Ali Zeid al-Moussawi, Muhammad Ibrahim al-Moussawi, and Hussein Yaghi, according to the Arab language newspaper.
The report also mentioned that the strike targeted a commander meeting, while initial reports said that there was a possibility that an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander was targeted in the strike.
The Jerusalem Post could not verify the claims by the al-Hadath report. The IDF didn’t comment on the strike targets, only mentioning that it had struck a Hezbollah command center in the Lebanese city.
According to Reuters, at least 10 people were killed and 50 wounded, while it reported that at least one Hezbollah official was killed.
The IDF said in its statement that the attack on Baalbek targeted a command center “embedded within the civilian population, in violation of the ceasefire understandings, and while cynically exploiting the civilian population as human shields to advance terror attacks.”
The military also targeted a Hamas command center in southern Lebanon on Friday, which was being used as a command and control center and a training facility for Hamas terrorists.
According to the IDF, the infrastructure targeted was also embedded among the civilian population, which constituted a violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
