An IDF spokesman said the Israeli army had killed Muhammad Kamal Naim, the commander of the anti-tank complex of the Radwan unit of the Hezblah terrorist organization. The operation was carried out by air in the Nabatiyeh area, southern Lebanon.
Also during the attack, the launchers from which missiles had previously been launched towards northern and central Israel were destroyed. As a result of the bombing, some of the missiles were intercepted and the rest fell in open areas. Fortunately there were no civilian casualties.
According to an IDF spokesperson, airstrikes against Hezbollah positions will continue if the terrorists continue attacking Israel.
Previously, Cursor reported that the IDF and the Shin Bet prevented Iran’s attempt to carry out a terrorist attack.
Israeli Shin Bet security services and LAHAV 433 special forces discovered an attempt by Iranian agents to recruit Israeli citizens to carry out terrorist missions.
As a result of the operation, two residents of Ramat Gan were detained: Vladislav Viktorson and his girlfriend Anna Bernstein, 18 years old. They are suspected of acting on instructions from Iranian agents.
Victorson had reportedly been in contact with a man named “Mari Hossi” through Hebrew social media since August of last year. For a reward of about $5,000, he carried out various tasks, including setting cars on fire and attempting to sabotage infrastructure and public places.
The investigation also found that Victorson accepted more serious assignments, such as attempted murder and the use of a grenade, and also began searching for weapons. Anna helped him with some of his homework. Additionally, Victorson was tasked with recruiting homeless people for additional duties and photographing protesters at demonstrations, raising concerns about the use of these spy networks to monitor social movements.
This case is an example of recruitment through social media, which the Iranian intelligence services actively use to attract Israelis to espionage and terrorism activities.
However, most Israelis who found suspicious contacts reported them to the authorities, thus avoiding many potential threats.
According to a Shin Bet spokesperson, in recent months, thanks to coordinated efforts, several similar recruitment networks run by Iranian intelligence agents have been uncovered.
The Shin Bet and the police intend to continue combating such threats and bring to justice all those involved in these actions.
