The IDF reports the killing of Ahmed Muhammad Fahd, head of a Hamas network in southern Syria, in an airstrike
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the killing of Ahmed Muhammad Fahd, the head of a Hamas network in southern Syria, in an overnight airstrike. According to the military, Fahd was responsible for directing attacks on Israeli troops, primarily involving rocket fire on the Golan Heights.
The IDF stated that Fahd was eliminated while he was planning to execute another terror attack in the immediate future. The airstrike was carried out by fighter jets targeting the southern region of Syria, The Times Of Israel reported.
This report came as the Israeli military launched new strikes on Saturday targeting Hezbollah in eastern Lebanon after intense bombardments on the group’s stronghold in southern Beirut overnight.
“The IDF (military) is currently striking terror targets belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organisation in the area of Beqaa” in eastern Lebanon, it said in a statement. It added that sirens sounded in northern Israel, after Hezbollah said it struck there.
