Hezbollah commander Rashid Sakafi killed in Israeli attack. (symbolic)
Beirut: The Israeli Army is shocked by the death of 8 of its soldiers, including one of its commanders, while launching a ground operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon. In the last 24 hours, Israel has killed many commanders of Hezbollah and Hamas in air strikes. In the latest attack, the IDF, based on accurate intelligence, killed Mohammed Rashid Sakafi, commander of Hezbollah’s communications unit, in Beirut on October 3.
The IDF said Sakafi was a senior Hezbollah terrorist who had been in charge of the communications unit since 2000. Sakafi had made significant efforts to develop communications capabilities between all Hezbollah units. In such a situation, his killing is a big success for the Israeli army.
Israel is launching rapid attacks on Lebanon
In response to Iran’s 180 missile attack, Israel is launching rapid attacks on Hezbollah and Hamas. In the last 24 hours, before Sakafi, Israel also claimed to have killed Hamas chief Zahi Yasser Abd al-Razek Aufi. Reuters quoted a reporter as saying that senior Hezbollah official Hashim Saffiedine was also targeted in the Israeli strike. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has also claimed to have killed 17 officers and soldiers of the Israeli army. The Israeli army said on Friday that it had killed the head of the Hamas network in an attack on Tulkarm in the West Bank. The army identified the Hamas terrorist as Zahi Yasser Abd al-Razek Aufi in a statement.
