Among the terrorists killed was Ali Reza Abbas, commander of the Hezbollah unit operating in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil.
The IDF killed hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists and attacked infrastructure used by the terror group in the 24 hours before the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect, a statement on Sunday from the military revealed.
During the IDF’s strikes, more than 150 Hezbollah terrorists were killed, and about 300 infrastructure targets were attacked, including launchers, command centers, and weapons storage facilities across Lebanon.
Among those killed was Ali Reza Abbas, commander of the Hezbollah unit operating in Bint Jbeil, a town in southern Lebanon that has served as a prominent Hezbollah post and in which the IDF’s Division 98 has been in active battle recently.
Additional commanders in the terror organization were also eliminated, said the IDF.
Abbas, in addition to commanding fighting against the IDF in the area, was also involved in terror plots against military forces over the years, particularly during Operation Roaring Lion, according to the statement. He also worked to strengthen Bint Jbeil.
Abbas is the fourth Bint Jbeil commander killed by the IDF since the start of Israel's recent operations against Hezbollah.

Over 70 targets were struck during the operation, according to the military, and over 20 terrorists were killed.
Since the start of Operation Roaring Lion in late February, more than 1,800 Hezbollah terrorists have been killed in Lebanon, according to military numbers.

Separately, the IDF on Wednesday arrested a terrorist from Hezbollah’s Radwan Force during operations in southern Lebanon.
While working to locate Hezbollah weapons and clear terrorist infrastructure, Israeli troops identified the terrorist, who is part of a Hezbollah unit responsible for the planning of imminent terror attacks on IDF forces.
The terrorist surrendered and was arrested before being transferred to Unit 504 for further investigation.
