The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has released drone footage showing the targeted killing of Muhammad Hussein Srour , a top Hezbollah commander, in an airstrike .
The footage showed multiple explosions rock a residential building in the Southern Suburb of Beirut.
Born in 1973 in the southern Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab, Srour, also known as 'Hajj Abu Saleh,' joined Hezbollah in 1996. He rose through the ranks, taking on various leadership positions within the organization and becoming a prominent figure in its military operations.
Srour played a significant role in numerous strategic initiatives against Israeli forces and participated in Hezbollah's battles along Lebanon's eastern borders and in Syria. He was particularly recognized for his leadership of Hezbollah's aerial command and his alleged involvement in coordinating drone and explosive attacks targeting Israeli assets.
"During the flight, I authorized a strike, and 'other things,' on the head of Hezbollah's UAV unit, and he was killed. Our policy is clear - we will continue to hit Hezbollah with full force, and we will not stop until we achieve all our goals," stated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, confirming Srour's death and his authorization of the strike while in flight.
Srour played a crucial role in the development of Hezbollah's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capabilities in recent years. He established manufacturing facilities near civilian areas in southern Lebanon and Beirut, raising concerns about the safety of civilians amidst ongoing conflicts. Furthermore, he led Hezbollah's surface-to-air missile unit and was reportedly connected to operations involving Houthi forces in Yemen.
The airstrike that killed Srour comes in the backdrop of escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which intensified following the October 7 attack by Hamas. Since then, both sides have engaged in regular exchanges of fire, with Hezbollah launching rockets into northern Israel in response to the Hamas attack, leading to heightened military responses from both parties.
