5 killed in Israel by Hezbollah airstrike as IDF eliminates terrorist group's special forces commander

A Hezbollah rocket attack in northern Israel on Thursday has left five people dead, officials say, as the IDF continues to target the terrorist group in Lebanon.

The strike that eliminated Mustafa Ahmad Shahadi of Hezbollah's Radwan Forces was carried out near the city of Nabatieh, south of Beirut, according to the Israel Defense Forces.  Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.

"Mustafa Ahmad Shahadi advanced numerous terror attacks against the State of Israel," the IDF said in a statement. "His targeting is part of the effort to degrade Hezbollah’s Radwan Forces' capabilities to direct and execute terror activities against IDF troops and communities in the northern border, in particular the ‘Conquer the Galilee’ plan."
