Abbas Hassan Karaki was the head of logistics in Hezbollah’s so-called Southern Front, and held other senior roles in the terror group in recent years, the Israel Defense Forces said. He was targeted in a dronezap on a vehicle in the southern town of Toul, near Nabatieh.
Lebanon’s health ministry said the strike killed two people and maimed two others.
According to the military, Karaki’s actions had "constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon" under the November 27 Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal, which required the Iran-backed terror group to withdraw from south Lebanon.
"The IDF will continue to act to remove all threats against the State of Israel," the military said, publishing a three-second clip of the strike targeting Karaki’s car.
According to the IDF, Karaki "led and advanced efforts to rebuild" Hezbollah’s capabilities in southern Lebanon; restored infrastructure that had been destroyed during the fighting last year; and was responsible for "rebuilding the organization’s force structure and managing the transfer and storage of weapons in southern Lebanon."
According to Lebanese media, Karaki was related to Ali Karaki, the former chief of the Southern Front who was assassinated alongside longtime Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

last year.
Later Friday, the IDF said it killed another Hezbollah operative involved in restoring the terror group’s military capabilities in southern Lebanon.
The operative was targeted in the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, also close to Nabatieh.
The IDF said his activities "constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."
The two liquidations came a day after Israel said it carried out strikes across Lebanon against Hezbollah sites, including an arms cache and a training camp, with Lebanese authorities reporting four people killed, including an elderly woman.
Since the ceasefire, the IDF has said it has killed over 300 Hezbollah operatives in strikes, hit hundreds of Hezbollah sites, and conducted over 1,000 raids and other small operations in southern Lebanon.
