An Israeli drone struck at a car in the Lebanese city of Tyre killing Mustafa and a second person thought to be a Syrian worker on a motorcycle
This airstrike comes as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah escalate, with the terror group firing 100 missiles into the north of Israel on Tuesday.
The IDF reported that Mustafa was a “significant” Hamas terrorist leader and was responsible for planning attacks against Israelis and other Jews around the world.
Hamas media also reported on the attacks and described Mustafa as “one of the leaders” of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades in the country.”
Following the strike, Hezbollah fired more missiles into Israel, many of them landing in fields in the Golan.
