Hassam Kassam Ghraib was directing terrorist cells in Syria to launch rockets at the Golan Heights.
The IDF killed Hezbollah terrorist Hassam Kassam Ghraib in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon on Tuesday night, the military said Wednesday.
Gharib was directing terrorist cells in Syria to launch rockets at the Golan Heights.
The targeting of the Hezbollah terrorist comes as the IDF has increased security concerns regarding southern Syria, where tensions have erupted into clashes between Druze and Bedouin armed groups.
It also comes following Hezbollah’s recent threats against the Jewish state.
Hezbollah’s renewed threats against Israel
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said that, should Israel engage in a “large-scale aggression” against Lebanon, Hezbollah, Lebanon’s army, and Lebanon’s people would defend themselves.

“This defense will lead to missiles falling inside the Israeli entity, and all the security they have built over eight months will collapse within an hour,” he said.
This is a developing story.
