He accused Shaashoua of being behind rocket launches toward Kiryat Shmona and the Golan Heights, and of working to rebuild the Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.

The statement added that a second strike killed Mohammad Hussein Yassin, identified as “an artillery official for the Shaqif area.”

Yassin was accused of planning attacks against the Galilee Panhandle and Kiryat Shmona, as well as transferring weapons south of the Litani River.

Adraee wrote that the activities of the two officials constituted “a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” adding that it “will continue to act to eliminate any threat to the state.”
