The IDF eliminated overnight in a strike in Baalbek in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley the terrorist Wael Mahmoud Abd al-Halim, who served as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander for the al-Buqeia region. The IDF Spokesperson announced this, adding that "al-Halim led the integration of the organization's terrorists into fighting alongside Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon and worked to advance terrorist attacks against IDF forces in recent times."
