Israel strike in Lebanon kills Hezbollah drone unit head

An Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Thursday (September 26, 2024) killed the head of Hezbollah’s drone unit, the militant group and the Israeli military said.

It was the fourth attack in a week targeting Hezbollah commanders in the densely populated area, one of the group’s strongholds.

Srur studied mathematics and was among a number of top advisers sent by Hezbollah to Yemen to train the country’s Huthi rebels, who are also backed by Iran, a source close to Hezbollah said.
