Hassan Khalil Yassin
KEY HIGHLIGHTS

The IDF’s operation targeted Hassan Khalil Yassin, a key figure in Hezbollah’s intelligence division responsible for locating military and civilian targets in Israel.


The IDF emphasized that Yassin’s assassination is part of a comprehensive plan to disrupt Hezbollah’s operational capabilities and prevent imminent terror strikes.


Following Yassin’s removal, the IDF intensified its attacks on Hezbollah infrastructure, including weapon storage sites and missile launchers, to safeguard Israeli borders.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a precision strike in the Dahieh district of Beirut on Saturday, eliminating senior Hezbollah intelligence operative Hassan Khalil Yassin. This operation took place not long after Hezbollah declared Hassan Nasrallah, their erstwhile leader, dead.

Yassin oversaw a division that was in charge of locating military and civilian targets both inside Israeli territory and near the country’s northern border. Yassin had a key role in communicating with Hezbollah’s attack divisions, according to the IDF. Throughout the conflict, he was instrumental in organizing assaults on troops and civilians in Israel.

The IDF said that the attack on Yassin was led by the Military Intelligence Directorate. The military made a point of highlighting Yassin’s role in organizing more terror strikes that are expected to take place in the next few days. His removal is a component of a larger plan to undermine Hezbollah’s capacity for operations.

Prior attacks focused on a number of Hezbollah locations in Lebanon, including factories that produce rocket and missile launchers. The IDF targeted smuggling routes near the Syrian border on Friday night. These routes were essential for bringing parts and weaponry into Lebanon from the east. According to the IDF, these materials were sent to factories that make a range of weaponry, including missiles with precise guidance.

These missiles are meant to be used against the State of Israel, according to military reports. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) kept attacking Hezbollah locations in Lebanon on Saturday afternoon, following the attack on Yassin. Strikes on Hezbollah launchers that were ready to assault Israeli territory were part of these operations.

The IDF also attacked Hezbollah’s infrastructure, including its weapon storage sites. The Israeli military made clear that the goals of these measures are to preserve border security and lessen the threat that Hezbollah poses.
