💥 IDF STRIKE IN DAHIYEH AND ELIMINATION OF ALI MUSA DAQDUQ: Following Hezbollah aerial attacks toward Israeli territory earlier in the day, the IDF conducted a precise strike on a Hezbollah command center in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district. The military stated the site was used to coordinate attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon.
According to the IDF, measures were taken prior to the strike to reduce civilian harm, including precision munitions and aerial surveillance. Lebanese media later reported that Ali Musa Abbas Daqduq, also known as Abu Hussein Sajid, was eliminated in the strike. Lebanon’s National News Agency reported three fatalities and 15 wounded, along with extensive damage to surrounding buildings and shops.
The IDF separately confirmed the elimination of Ali Musa Daqduq in a strike south of the Litani River, describing him as a senior Hezbollah commander and former head of Hezbollah’s “Golan Terrorist Network.” The military stated he previously served in multiple senior operational roles, including commander of Hassan Nasrallah’s security unit, positions within the Radwan Force and Nasser Unit Operations Department, and responsibility for Hezbollah military entrenchment near the Israeli border in Syria.
According to the IDF, Daqduq played a central role in operational planning and attacks against Israel over recent years. The military also noted that U.S. forces imprisoned him in 2007 for involvement in the kidnapping and murder of five American soldiers, describing his elimination as another significant blow to Hezbollah’s senior command structure.
✈️ COORDINATION AND INTERNATIONAL REPORTING: Axios reported that Israel notified CENTCOM shortly before the Beirut strike. Israeli media stated the target was an empty Hezbollah headquarters in Dahiyeh, similar to a strike carried out the previous week.
🛸 DRONE INFILTRATIONS AND NORTHERN ALERTS: Multiple hostile aircraft infiltration alerts were activated throughout northern Israel near the Lebanon border. The IDF reported several suspicious aerial targets impacting near operational areas where Israeli troops are active in southern Lebanon. No injuries were reported.
Sirens sounded in Arab al-Aramshe, Misgav Am, Hanita, Adamit, Margaliot, Metula, and additional northern communities. The Israeli Air Force intercepted several aerial targets crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory.
The IDF later clarified that some alerts, including incidents near Eilat and southern Israel, were false identifications. Additional alerts in Arab al-Aramshe, Hanita, and Adamit were also later classified as false alarms.
