The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) said today that it killed a senior Hezbollah commander in its Rocket and Missile Unit in southern Lebanon.

The IOF said the retaliation comes in response to a “number of projectiles fired from Lebanese territory” that crossed into northern “Israel” and hit the Upper Galilee earlier today.

Hezbollah confirmed the death of Muhammad Mahmoud Negm in a statement just now, with no details of the incident or his role in the organization.
