The IDF says it eliminated the commander of Hezbollah's coastal region in an airstrike earlier today.

Ismail Yousef Baz, whose rank is equivalent to a brigade commander, was targeted in a drone strike in the town of Ain Baal, near Tyre.

The IDF says he was "a senior and veteran official in the military wing of Hezbollah," holding several positions, the latest being the commander of the coastal region.

"As part of his position, he was involved in advancing and planning rocket and anti-tank missile launches towards the State of Israel from the coastal area in Lebanon," the military says.
