The IDF killed Hussein Izzat Mohammad Atwi, a senior terrorist in the Jama’a Islamiya terror group affiliated with Hamas, during a strike in Lebanon, the military said on Tuesday.
The strike occurred in Haret El Naameh, south of Beirut.
Atwi took part in the planning of terror attacks from Lebanon against Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers operating on Israel‘s northern border.
The military added that as part of his activities, Atwi carried out rocket attacks, guided terrorists, and advanced infiltration attempts into Israeli territory. Atwi also operated to target Israeli destinations worldwide.

The military further added that Atwi operated under the military wing of the Sunni terror group known as the Fajr Forces in cooperation with Hamas in Lebanon.
According to Reuters, the Fajr Forces have fired rockets at Israel for the past year, with the IDF targeting members of the terror group.
