Israel Kills Senior Hezbollah Leaders Karky Karbala in Lebanon Strikes

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have conducted targeted strikes in southern Lebanon against key Hezbollah figures involved in military logistics and operations, despite a ceasefire in effect since late 2024. Abbas Hassan Karky, the logistics commander for Hezbollah’s Southern Front, was eliminated near Nabatieh for his role in rebuilding the group’s combat capabilities and managing weapons transfers. Similarly, Issa Ahmad Karbala, a platoon commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force responsible for weapons transfers and planning attacks against Israel, was killed in an airstrike in Ain Qana. These operations highlight Israel's ongoing efforts to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding its military infrastructure and violating ceasefire terms. Hezbollah has rejected calls to disarm and continues to strengthen its forces, contributing to ongoing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. The IDF has emphasized its commitment to removing threats to Israel's security amid this fragile ceasefire.
