Israel Air Force fighter jets carried out an attack on terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon and eliminated Hezbollah terrorist Araeb el Shoga on Friday morning, the IDF announced.

Al-Shaja'a was an anti-tank commander in Hezbollah's Radwan Forces’ Anti-tank Missile Unit in Meiss El Jabal, southern Lebanon, and was responsible for constant anti-tank fire toward northern Israel, the military stated.

The military also reportedly identified and struck a launcher that was prepared to fire toward Israeli territory and IDF troops.
