IDF Kills Senior Hezbollah Commander Ali Mussa Daqduq in Southern Lebanon Strike
- Ambassador Yechiel Leiter announced the IDF eliminated senior Hezbollah commander Daqduq, a strike the military confirmed, removing a leader responsible for operations against Israel.
- Daqduq joined Hezbollah in 1983, serving as bodyguard to Hassan Nasrallah, and later founded the unit Hezbollah refers to as the "Golan Terrorist Network" along the Israel-Lebanon border.
- Iran sent Daqduq to Iraq to train terrorists, and he directed one attack against Western troops in 2006 and 2007 that killed five soldiers.
- British SAS forces captured Daqduq in Basra, leading to five years in prison, but the Iraqi government later released him despite protests from Washington.
- Leiter said Daqduq managed Hezbollah's "Golan Portfolio" plan to invade northern Israel; the IDF exposed this network responsible for military operations in Syria and along the border.
