IDF: Hezbollah Radwan Force terrorist who operated for years under the guise of a journalist: The IDF eliminated Ali Hassan Shaib
A short while ago, the IDF conducted a targeted strike and eliminated Ali Hassan Shaib, a terrorist in the intelligence unit of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force.
The terrorist Ali Hassan Shaib operated within the Hezbollah terrorist organization under the guise of a journalist for the “Al-Manar” network, while operating systematically to expose the locations of IDF sodleirs operating in southern Lebanon and along the border. He maintained continuous contact with additional terrorists, both within the Radwan Force unit specifically and across the broader Hezbollah terrorist organization.
Additionally, the terrorist engaged in incitement against IDF troops and Israeli civilians, using his position as a channel to disseminate Hezbollah propaganda materials.
Even during Operation Roaring Lion, Shaib continued his activities and reported on the locations of IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon.
The IDF will continue to operate with determination against Hezbollah, which chose to join the attacks on Israel and operate on behalf of the Iranian terror regime. The IDF will not allow harm to the residents of Israel.

IDF: Nuclear Weapons Program Facilities and Weapons Production Sites Were Struck Across Three Areas in Iran with 50+ Aircraft
Yesterday (Friday), over 50 Israeli Air Force fighter jets, guided by IDF intelligence, completed strikes targeting Iranian terror regime infrastructure across three areas in Iran, simultaneously.
The sites were struck in parallel with the heavy water plant in Arak, which served as a key production site of plutonium for nuclear weapons, and a unique facility in Iran used to produce explosive materials required for the uranium enrichment process, located in Yazd.
The strike sortie included three waves of strikes that lasted several hours, during which main facilities of the nuclear weapons program in Arak and Yazd, as well as weapons production sites of the Iranian regime’s forces, were targeted. Among the sites struck:
* A military industry facility used for the production of a variety of weapons
* An Iranian Ministry of Defense site used for the development and production of advanced explosive devices. The site served as a source to supply weapons for the regime’s terror proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
* A site used for the production of components for ballistic missiles and anti-aircraft missiles.
The strikes on these sites and facilities constitute a combined degradation to the regime’s production capabilities, both in its ballistic missile program and its nuclear weapons program.
The IDF continues to operate against the regime’s military industries in order to degrade the production capabilities it has built over many years.
