[Regnum] The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed Hussein al-Jawhari, an officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC, an elite unit of the Iranian Armed Forces), in Lebanon. This was reported by IDF spokesman Avichai Edri on December 25. "We succeeded in killing Hussein al-Jawhari, a prominent officer in the special forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," Edri said in a video message distributed in Arabic in X. An Iranian officer was killed in a drone strike on a vehicle in the Lebanese town of Hosh al-Sayyed Ali in the northern Bekaa Valley. According to the IDF, al-Jawhari has been involved in planning and carrying out attacks against Israel in recent years. On December 9, the Israel Defense Forces struck Hezbollah military targets and infrastructure in southern Lebanon. The strikes hit a training complex where militants received marksmanship and weapons training, as well as a missile launch pad and other military facilities used for attacks on Israel.
