Israeli army kills senior Hezbollah figure in southern Lebanon strike
rte.ie —
The Israeli army announced it killed Mustafa Ahmad Shahadi, deputy head of Hezbollah's Radwan Force, in a strike in southern Lebanon. Shahadi was involved in operations in Syria and had overseen attacks in southern Lebanon. This development occurs as Israel's security cabinet discusses a potential truce with Hezbollah amid ongoing ground operations. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is reportedly negotiating terms for a 60-day ceasefire, including a Hezbollah pullback and international oversight. In Baalbek, the Israeli army ordered residents to evacuate, warning of imminent attacks on Hezbollah targets. The evacuation led to heavy traffic as civilians fled, with the city nearly empty following the warning.
