Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee wrote on X:
Last night, Israeli aircraft, under the guidance of the Shin Bet, targeted an area in the southern suburbs of Beirut, striking a Hezbollah operative who had recently been directing Hamas members and assisting them in carrying out an imminent terrorist attack against Israelis. He posed a real and immediate threat, which is why both the Israeli army and the Shin Bet acted to eliminate the danger.
The army and Shin Bet will keep working to remove any threat to Israeli citizens.
