Israel’s military confirmed on Thursday it had killed Mohammad Jamal Murad, a senior Hezbollah commander, in an airstrike on the southern Lebanese town of Mansouri.

In a statement, the Israeli army said Murad, head of Hezbollah’s coastal artillery unit, was behind recent rocket attacks on Israel and had been rebuilding the group’s rocket-launching capabilities along Lebanon’s coast.

Lebanese media reported that an Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle in Mansouri, south of Tyre, killing one person and injuring another. Pro-Hezbollah sources later identified the fatality as Murad.
