The Israeli army has claimed that it has killed Hezbollah’s drone commander in an airstrike on an apartment in the suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut on Thursday (September 26). Hezbollah did not immediately comment on Israel’s claim whether commander Mohammad Hussein Surour was killed or not. However, the Israeli Defense Forces have said that the IDF, based on intelligence, attacked and killed Hezbollah terrorist Muhammad Hussein Surour in Beirut. After this attack, Hezbollah has also fired several rockets at Israel.
Who was Muhammad Hussain Saroor
Israel has said that these attacks were carried out on a multi-storey building in Dahiyah, Beirut, where Hezbollah’s drone commander was hiding. The IDF alleged that Surour was a longtime member of Hezbollah who carried out a number of terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers using UAVs and explosive devices. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said that PM Benjamin Netanyahu approved the assassination operation during his flight to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
Suroor joined Hezbollah in the 80s. Since then, he has served in a variety of positions in the organization, including as a commander in a surface-to-air missile unit and the Radwan Force. He oversaw the air affairs of the Houthi rebels in Yemen as Hezbollah’s representative. He directed several aerial terrorist attacks, including drone, cruise missile and UAV attacks.
On the other hand, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that at least two people were killed and 15 injured in an attack by Israeli fighter jets on a building in Dahiyah, a southern suburb of Beirut, on Thursday afternoon. The injured also include a woman, whose condition is critical. According to CNN, this area is a densely populated area with a strong presence of Hezbollah.
According to Al Jazeera, Dahiyah is a suburb of Beirut, where about 700,000 people live. This is not the first time this area has been targeted by Israel. This is the fourth attack in Dahiyah in less than a week. Israel claims that a large number of Hezbollah fighters are hiding here. So far, two high-ranking Hezbollah commanders have been killed by the IDF in the attacks.
