Israeli forces have reportedly eliminated Suhail Hussein Husseini, a key Hezbollah figure involved in smuggling advanced weaponry from Iran. According to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), Husseini played a central role in coordinating the transfer of large quantities of weapons through Syria to Hezbollah. He was a member of Hezbollah's Jihad Council, responsible for military strategy and overseeing the development of precision-guided weapon systems.

This strike is part of Israel's ongoing campaign against Hezbollah leadership, which has seen numerous senior figures, including leaders like Hassan Nasrallah, targeted. Israeli warplanes continued bombing operations in Beirut, and the IDF promised to maintain pressure on the group. Additionally, Israeli forces have mobilized in southwestern Lebanon, aiming to dismantle Hezbollah's military infrastructure. Despite these operations, Hezbollah continued launching rocket attacks into northern Israel, while Israel's Iron Dome defense system intercepted missiles near Tel Aviv.

In Gaza, three Hamas militants involved in the October 7 attacks were killed. One of the key operatives, Muhammad Rafa'i, was said to have participated in the assaults that left over 1,200 people dead. Additional Hamas militants, Muhammad Zinon and Basel Ahras, were eliminated in another targeted operation in southern Gaza.
