The United States and Israeli forces said they have eliminated the head of Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters, Hussein Makled.
The Israel Defense Forces, IDF, disclosed this in its official X account on Monday.
The IDF said Makled was eliminated in a ‘precise strike’ in Beirut, capital of Lebanon.
“ELIMINATED: Hussein Makled, the head of Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters, was eliminated in a precise strike in Beirut,” the IDF said.
Makled’s death adds to the list of Iranian-linked leaders eliminated so far by the US-Israel military amid the war with Iran.
Recall that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other leaders were eliminated by the US-Israel strike on Iran.
Iran has long carried out several retaliatory strikes against US-Israel allies in the Middle East.
The US confirmed at least four of its soldiers have been killed by the Iran strike.
At Saudi Arabia’s largest refinery, the Saudi Aramco facility in Ras Tanura, a section went up in flames after being hit by an Iranian drone on Monday.
