Another strike, another terrorist leader eliminated. The IDF announced Monday that it bagged another senior terrorist leader, this time a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander of the Beqaa region in Lebanon. The strike was conducted in the area of Baalbek.

The PIJ leader, Wael Mahmoud Abd al-Halim, worked to integrate his unit with Hezbollah terrorists and led terrorist missions against IDF soldiers, with a marked increase in terrorist attacks against Israeli troops in recent weeks.

To prevent harm to civilians, the IDF used precision strikes to target al-Halim, coordinating with the Israeli Air Force, which provided surveillance from the air.
