🎯 HEZBOLLAH COMMANDER ELIMINATED IN SOUTHERN LEBANON: On Sunday, the Israeli Air Force, guided by IDF intelligence, struck in the Jwaya area and eliminated Hassan Salameh, the Commander of Hezbollah's "Nassar" Unit.

He previously served in several senior positions in Hezbollah, including Commander of the Khaim region and Deputy Operational Commander in the Nassar Unit.
Throughout his years in the organization, Salameh operated extensively against the State of Israel and advanced numerous terror attacks against Israeli civilians.
The Nassar Unit is one of three Hezbollah units responsible for operations in southern Lebanon.

If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before. If, on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction".
President Trump also said: "Any boat trying to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, we will use against it the same missile capabilities that were used against drug smugglers".
In parallel, President Trump said: "I am pleased to report that within the last few hours, we have hit, and completely destroyed, 10 inactive mine laying boats and/or ships, with more to follow".
