The Israeli military confirmed on Monday evening that it had killed Abu Hamza Rami, the commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Lebanon, in Beirut. The attack was carried out during an air operation in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital.
According to the official statement of the Israeli army, Rami directed and organized hundreds of attacks against soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces and Israeli civilians. Israeli authorities stated that he continued to coordinate operations from Lebanese territory, including training militants of the Nukhba units, recruiting new members and providing weapons to the organization.
The Israeli military stressed that his elimination has caused a significant weakening of the operational capabilities of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad against Israel.
Air operations resumed in the early hours of Monday morning after Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel. Israeli forces continued to strike throughout the day, including targets in Beirut.
Hezbollah announced Monday night that it was officially joining the military confrontation between Israel and Iran. Initial reports suggested that rockets were fired from Lebanese territory in parallel with a wave of ballistic missiles from Iran. The Israeli military denied that rockets were fired from Lebanon and stated that all the strikes detected came from Iranian territory.
An Iranian missile hit central Israel during the latest wave of attacks. The Magen David Adom emergency service reported no injuries.
Clashes between Israel, Hezbollah and Iranian-backed groups in Lebanon are taking place in parallel with the broader conflict between Israel and Iran, raising the risk of the war spreading across the region.
