Additionally, 15 other Hezbollah terrorists were eliminated in the strike, including senior commanders in the Radwan Force chain of command.
Among the terrorists eliminated was Abu Hassan Samir, who served as the head of the Radwan Force training unit. He held various positions within the terrorist organization and was commander of the Radwan Force for a decade until early 2024. He was one of the planners and leaders of the “Conquer the Galilee” attack plan and was involved in advancing Hezbollah’s entrenchment in southern Lebanon, while attempting to improve the organization’s ground combat capabilities. Over the years, and during the first months of the war, he planned and executed numerous shooting attacks and infiltrations into Israeli territory.
