(JNS) Israel eliminated senior Hamas operative Khalid Ahmad Ahmad via an airstrike near Sidon, Lebanon on Wednesday, May 7, according to the Israeli military.

Ahmad served as head of operations in Hamas’s Western Brigade in Lebanon, and was directly involved in orchestrating terror attacks against Israeli civilians and military forces throughout the ongoing war, according to the IDF.

He was engaged in weapons smuggling and planning further attacks on Israeli territory, the IDF said. The military described his activity as a “direct threat to the State of Israel and its citizens.”

On Tuesday, a senior Hezbollah operative was killed in an airstrike on the Nabatieh region in Southern Lebanon, according to the IDF. He was identified as Adnan Muhammad Sadiq Harb, a commander in the terrorist group’s Badr Unit.

Harb played a key role in Hezbollah’s operations north of the Litani River and was responsible for the rehabilitation of the group’s terror capabilities, according to the IDF.

He was also actively involved in restoring Hezbollah’s infrastructure south of the Litani, the military said—a move considered a violation of the post-2006 war understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

In addition to overseeing logistics, Harb was involved in the transfer of weapons across Lebanese territory for various Hezbollah units, according to the IDF.

“The IDF will continue to act against any threat to the State of Israel,” the statement concluded.
