On Sunday, the Israeli Air Force, guided by IDF intelligence, struck in the Jwaya area and eliminated Hassan Salameh, the Commander of Hezbollah's 'Nassar' Unit.
Salameh was appointed the unit's commander following the elimination of the former commander, Abu Talib, in June 2024.
Salameh was a senior terrorist and served in several key positions in the organization, including the Commander of the Khaim region and the Deputy Operational Commander in the 'Nassar' Unit.
Throughout his years in the organization, Salameh operated extensively against the State of Israel and to advance numerous terror attacks against Israeli civilians.
The 'Nassar' Unit is one of three units responsible for Hezbollah's operations in southern Lebanon.
The IDF is operating with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization following it’s decision to deliberately attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian regime. The IDF will not tolerate any harm to the residents of the State of Israel.

IDF: IDF Reveals: Most Key Assets of the Iranian Terror Regime’s Internal Security and Basij Forces Dismantled in Ilam Province
Since the start of Operation 'Roaring Lion', the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF Intelligence, has been systematically targeting the regime’s systems and capabilities.
Over the past week, the IDF has deepened the damage to infrastructure belonging to the Internal Security and Basij forces across Iran, which constitute part of the regime’s armed forces.
One of the central provinces in which the majority of regime infrastructure was degraded is the Ilam Province, where the forces have carried out many terror attacks and brutally repressed internal protests during demonstrations that took place across Iran in the December–January period.
The IDF can now reveal that most of the key assets of the regime’s Internal Security Forces and Basij units in the province were dismantled, including:
* The main headquarters of the regime’s Internal Security Forces
* The headquarters of the regime’s central intelligence body (the Ministry of Intelligence)
* A command center of the IRGC responsible for the battalions that suppress protests.
* A headquarters of the special forces unit within the Internal Security Forces
* Several Basij unit headquarters and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps infrastructure used to reinforce the regime’s control and governance in the province.
The damage to the regime’s repression and control mechanisms in Ilam Province is one example of many.
These armed forces form part of the Iranian regime’s security apparatus and have for years been responsible for executing terror activities.
At the same time, these forces lead the regime’s primary repression efforts against internal protests, particularly in recent periods, using severe violence, mass arrests, and force against civilian demonstrators.
The completed strikes are part of the ongoing phase of further degrading the core operational structures of the Iranian terror regime and degrading its capabilities.

An initial review indicates that most of the threats that were launched were intercepted. Interception attempts were made against two threats that were unsuccessful, resulting in impacts in two separate areas in central Israel without an alert being activated.

The IDF continues to deepen its strikes on the systems and capabilities of the Iranian terror regime.
Overnight (Monday), the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, completed a wave of strikes on key infrastructure belonging to the Iranian terror regime in Tehran.
One of the strikes targeted a weapons research and development complex used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). At this site, the IDF targeted an underground route within the complex where IRGC armed forces conducted experiments and tests related to the development and production of ballistic missiles.
The complex was located within the IRGC’s central military university (“Imam Hussein”), which served as an emergency asset and a gathering site for operational activity.
In addition to this complex, the Israeli Air Force struck infrastructure within the main headquarters of the “Quds Force”, along with additional production sites for various weapons and defense systems belonging to the Iranian regime.
These strikes were conducted as part of the effort to deepen the damage to the core arrays of the Iranian regime.
The completed strikes are part of the ongoing phase aimed at deepening the damage to the core operational arrays and foundational capabilities of the Iranian terrorist regime.

IDF: The IDF struck Hezbollah command centers in the village from which rockets were launched toward Israel
Overnight, the IDF struck command centers and terrorist infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the area of Ansar in southern Lebanon, in response to the rocket launches carried out yesterday (Monday) by Hezbollah toward the territory of the State of Israel from that area.
A few hours after the launches, the IDF Spokesperson in Arabic called on the residents of the village from which the rockets were launched to evacuate the area for their own safety.
The Hezbollah terrorist organization embeds terrorist infrastructure within civilian areas, thereby endangering the residents of Lebanon. The placement of launchers and the firing from civilian areas in Lebanon constitutes a deliberate and cynical exploitation of Lebanese civilians in order to advance Hezbollah’s terrorist objectives.
The IDF is operating with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization as a result of the terrorist organization's decision to deliberately attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian regime, and will not tolerate any harm to the residents of the State of Israel.

IDF: The IDF completed an additional wave of strikes targeting assets of the 'Al-Quard Al-Hassan' Association of the Hezbollah terrorist organization
Yesterday (Monday), Israeli Air Force fighter jets completed an additional series of strikes on assets and storage facilities of the ‘Al-Quard Al-Hassan’ Association, which funds Hezbollah’s terror activities across Lebanon.
These funds are used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to purchase weapons and weapon production materials, and to pay terrorist salaries to support their terrorist activities.
The strikes were carried out to further deepen Hezbollah’s military degradation, this is following the IDF’s strikes against the association’s assets last week.
For many years now, the people of Lebanon have experienced a financial and humanitarian crisis that is being exploited by the Hezbollah terrorist organization. The terrorist organization aggravates the crisis, taking advantage of the population's weak socioeconomic position to deepen the population's dependency and shore up its military presence.
Hezbollah's financial rehabilitation attempts and the ‘Al-Quard Al-Hassan’ Association operations are a blatant threat to the people of Israel.
The IDF is operating with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization as a result of the terrorist organization's decision to deliberately attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian regime, and will not tolerate any harm to the residents of the State of Israel.
