The IDF struck a central Hezbollah command center in the Kafr Ansar area in southern Lebanon overnight. This was reported by the IDF spokesperson, who noted that "the strike was carried out in response to Hezbollah's action against our forces operating in the area." It was further reported that the terrorist Ali Samir al-Haj Hassan, a battalion commander in the Radwan Force unit, was eliminated in the strike, along with several other terrorists. The IDF emphasized that "Hassan's family was also present at the military command center during the strike and, according to reports, was harmed in the attack. It should be emphasized that they were not the target of the strike. It was directed in a focused manner at Hassan, who was a legitimate target for attack in accordance with international law. The terrorist used his family as human shields and hid with them inside the military command center."
