The IDF further reported that Ahmed Al-Dalu, a member of the Islamic Jihad's Military Intelligence Unit in Gaza, was also killed. Al-Dalu took part in the October 7 attack on the Israeli community of Kfar Aza and was involved in planning attacks against Israeli citizens.
Background of the conflict
This conflict has escalated after nearly a year of rising tensions. Hezbollah has fired rockets into northern Israel, supporting Hamas. The current fighting began after a surprise attack on Israel on October 7 last year.
Since late September, Israeli forces have increased airstrikes on Hezbollah targets, resulting in the deaths of several key figures, including the former chief, Hassan Nasrallah. The military campaign shows the growing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in the region.
