IDF “Kills” Hezbollah Rocket Unit Chief, Iran-Backed Group Executes ’26 Anti-Israel Ops In A Day

The Israeli army on Saturday said that it had killed Jaafar Khader Faour, a top commander of Hezbollah's Nasser Brigade rocket unit in southern Lebanon. The military said that he has been responsible for multiple attacks on Israel since October 2023.

Hezbollah did not immediately comment or confirm Faour's death.

"Faour was responsible for multiple rocket attacks toward the Golan, including an attack that resulted in the deaths of Israeli civilians from Kibbutz Ortal, an attack on Majdal Shams which killed 12 children and injured many and the rocket attack on Metula last Thursday, which resulted in the deaths of 5 civilians," the Israeli Defence Force said in a statement.
