The Israeli army announced the assassination of Hezbollah leader Ali Al-Dibs, a central commander in the "Radwan" force, and his deputy in a strike last night in Nabatiyeh. Al-Dibs was involved in tasks related to the Palestinian file. It is noted that Israel attempted to assassinate Al-Dibs last week after an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle near the morning statue in Nabatiyeh. Later, Hezbollah mourned Al-Dibs and two others, stating, "With great pride and honor, the Islamic Resistance announces the martyrdom of the Mujahid Ali Muhammad Al-Dibs 'Haider', born in 1976 from the town of Blat and residing in the town of Zabadin in southern Lebanon, who became a martyr on the way to Jerusalem." Additionally, they announced the martyrdom of Mujahid Hassan Ibrahim Issa 'Karrar', born in 1997 from the town of Houmine Al-Tokhta in southern Lebanon, who also became a martyr on the way to Jerusalem. The statement concluded with the mourning of the third member, Hussein Ahmad Aqeel 'Abu Aqeel', born in 1988 from the town of Al-Jabayn in southern Lebanon.
