According to the IDF, the target was involved in smuggling weapons and advancing terror plots against Israeli civilians and IDF troops, acting on behalf of the Quds Force, the IRGC's foreign arm, which is responsible for supporting Tehran's regional proxies, including Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Saudi news outlet Al-Hadath identified the target as Qassem Al-Husseini. It was not immediately clear if the target was a Lebanese or Iranian national.
Israel continues to strike Lebanon despite the November ceasefire with Hezbollah. The agreement required Hezbollah to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli frontier and to disarm.
