The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) reported the elimination of Mustafa Ahmad Shahadi, deputy commander of the elite units of the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah movement Radwan. The Israeli army released such a statement on Wednesday, 30 October.
‘The Israel Defence Forces eliminated Mustafa Ahmad Shahadi, deputy commander of Hezbollah's Radwan forces in the Nabatiyah area,’ reads the IDF statement, which was published on the Israeli army's Telegram channel.
As noted, it was possible to eliminate Shahadi by a strike organised by IDF intelligence.
