Blida, Lebanon – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed today that it carried out a targeted drone strike in southern Lebanon, killing a high-ranking Hezbollah commander. The operation, which took place in the town of Blida, successfully neutralized Ali Ibar al-Nabi Khadi, deputy commander of Hezbollah’s forces in the Mhaibib sector.
