The IDF<\/a> killed three Hezbollah<\/a> commanders in its latest attack in Baalbek, Lebanon, on Friday, according to a report by Saudi media outlet al-Hadath.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Jerusalem Post could not verify the claims by the al-Hadath report. The IDF didn\u2019t comment on the strike targets, only mentioning that it had struck a Hezbollah command center in the Lebanese city.<\/p>\n

According to Reuters, at least 10 people were killed and 50 wounded, while it reported that at least one Hezbollah official was killed.<\/p>\n

The IDF<\/a> said in its statement that the attack on Baalbek targeted a command center \u201cembedded within the civilian population, in violation of the ceasefire understandings, and while cynically exploiting the civilian population as human shields to advance terror attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The military also targeted a Hamas<\/a> command center in southern Lebanon on Friday, which was being used as a command and control center and a training facility for Hamas terrorists.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The IDF killed three Hezbollah commanders in its latest attack in Baalbek, Lebanon, on Friday, according to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":301884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[72417,86,21224,85,46,71694,87806,89,43],"class_list":{"0":"post-301883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-israel","8":"tag-hamas-and-hezbollah","9":"tag-hezbollah","10":"tag-hezbollah-lebanon","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-israel-hezbollah","14":"tag-lebanon-israel-war","15":"tag-lebanon-war","16":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/301884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
