Israel Targets Key Hezbollah and Hamas Commanders

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have conducted several targeted airstrikes resulting in the deaths of key Hezbollah and Hamas commanders. In southern Lebanon, IDF operations eliminated Hezbollah commanders Abu Ali Rida and Ali Barakat, responsible for rocket and UAV attacks on Israel. In the Gaza Strip, an airstrike killed Izz al-Din Kassab, a senior Hamas official involved in strategic relations and coordination with other militant groups. These strikes are part of ongoing IDF efforts to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and reduce threats against Israeli territories. The military actions occur amid broader conflicts involving Israel and militant groups in both Lebanon and Gaza, with the United States' efforts to mediate a ceasefire yet to yield significant progress.
