The IDF announced that since the launch of Operation Roaring Lion, Israeli forces have killed more than 350 Hezbollah terrorists, including a number of senior commanders who were involved in directing operational units and advancing attacks against the State of Israel.

In a statement issued Friday, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that over the past week Israeli forces conducted a series of coordinated operations carried out from the air, sea, and ground. During those missions, many terrorists were eliminated, including high-ranking figures from several terror organizations operating out of Lebanon.

Among the senior operatives killed were Zid Ali Jomaa, identified as Commander of Hezbollah’s Firepower Management; Ali Reza Bi-Azhar, Head of the Intelligence Branch of the Lebanon Corps within the Quds Force; Ahmad Rasouli, who was responsible for Intelligence in the Palestine Corps of the Quds Force; and Ali Maglas Tabaja, Commander of the Imam Hussein Division.

The military also reported the elimination of several other high-level figures, including seven senior Hezbollah commanders, five commanders from the Palestine and Lebanon Corps of the Quds Force, three commanders belonging to the Imam Hussein Division, and one commander affiliated with Islamic Jihad.

According to the IDF, the strikes also targeted the senior leadership structure of Iranian regime representatives operating in Lebanon, a move the military said weakens Iran’s influence and operational presence both in Lebanon and throughout the broader Middle East.

“The eliminations and strikes in Lebanon significantly degrade the command-and-control and firepower abilities of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and it minimizes the threats to the State of Israel and its civilians,” said the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

“These various terrorist organizations operate from within the civilian population in Lebanon, advancing terror activities against the State of Israel while cynically exploiting civilians as human shields. The IDF will not allow harm to the civilians of the State of Israel and will continue to operate to remove any threat,” it stressed.
