Tel Aviv [Israel]: In an airstrike carried out earlier on Monday in the Nabatieh region of Lebanon, the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) eliminated the terrorist Hassan Ali Jamil Atwi, who was described as a "key terrorist" in Hezbollah's air defence system.

Atwi led the reconstruction and resupply efforts of Hezbollah's air defence system, was a significant knowledge centre, and engaged in liaison and procurement with the organisation's leaders in Iran, explained the IDF.

"The actions of terrorist Hassan Ali Jamil Atwi constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon, and his defeat constitutes a further blow to the military reconstruction efforts of the terrorist organisation Hezbollah," said the IDF. (ANI/TPS)
