Israel’s military said it had killed a member of Iran’s Quds Force in Lebanon accused of planning attacks against Israel from Syria and Lebanese territory. The statement was issued on Thursday.
The military identified the man as Hussein Mahmoud Marshad al-Jawhari, calling him a key operative in the force's unit 840.
The military said al-Jawhari was killed in the area of Ansariyeh in southern Lebanon, but gave no further details about the operation.
According to the statement, al-Jawhari operated under Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and was involved in what Israel described as “terror activities” directed by Tehran against Israel and its security forces.
The Quds Force is the overseas arm of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and has been linked by Israel and Western governments to operations across the Middle East.
Israel has been carrying out near-daily strikes in Lebanon in recent months, saying the attacks are aimed at preventing the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah from rebuilding its military capabilities.
A U.S.-backed ceasefire agreed in November 2024 ended more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. The agreement requires the armed group to disarm, starting in areas south of the Litani River, close to the Israeli border.
Israeli strikes since the ceasefire have killed at least 127 civilians in Lebanon, according to local authorities.
There was no immediate comment from Iran or the Lebanese government on the Israeli statement.
