Israel has eliminated a senior Hezbollah field commander in southern Lebanon, the military announced Wednesday.
Hussain Ibrahim Mekky was responsible for various acts of terrorism against the Israeli home front, the IDF said, adding that he previously served as the commander of Hezbollah's forces in the coastal region.

Makki was targeted while driving near Tyre, according to the IDF.
Over the past seven months, over 30 Hezbollah commanders have been killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, per military data. The latest strike occurred hours after a Hezbollah anti-tank missile hit a military post near the border, killing one civilian and wounding five soldiers.
Since the Oct. 7 Hamas onslaught, Hezbollah has been launching nearly-daily attacks on Israeli towns near the Lebanese border.
