On Saturday evening, November 2, the IDF killed Hezbollah commander Jaafar Khader Faour. He was responsible for the first missile attacks on Israel on October 8, 2023, reports The Jerusalem Post.
In particular, an Israeli Air Force fighter jet in cooperation with the Northern Command killed Faour in the Jwaya area in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, another drone commander was killed along with him.
Faour was reportedly responsible for launching missiles and drones into northern Israel from eastern Lebanon. His unit was the first to open fire on the country on October 8, 2023, giving the order to start a conflict along the northern border of the Israeli state.
According to the military, he is also responsible for the missile attack on the Golan Heights, which killed Israeli civilians. In addition, he is responsible for the attack on Majdal Shams, which killed 12 children, and the recent shelling of Metulla on Thursday, which killed 5 civilians.
Yesterday it became known that a member of the Hamas political bureau was killed during an Israeli air strike on southern Gaza. He was responsible for relations with other groups in the enclave. Read more about this in RBC-Ukraine's article.
