Israel’s military announced today that it killed Ali Tawfiq Dweiq, the commander of Hezbollah’s medium-range rocket unit, in an airstrike on southern Lebanon yesterday.

In a statement, the Israeli military said, Ali Tawfiq Dweiq was killed by the Israeli Air Force in the village of Kfar Jouz, near the town of Nabatieh. Dweiq had led the unit since September 2024 and was responsible for launching over 300 rockets at Israel, including strikes on Haifa and central Israel. His death follows a series of targeted killings by Israel, including the September airstrike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
