The Israeli army announced in a statement that Suhail Hossein Hosseini, the commander of the Hezbollah Lebanon militia headquarters, has been eliminated. According to this statement, on Tuesday, October 9, Israeli air forces 'carried out a precise and intelligence-based attack in the Beirut area, eliminating Suhail Hossein Hosseini, the commander of the terrorist organization Hezbollah headquarters.' This headquarters is responsible for logistics within Hezbollah, the militia group supported by the Islamic Republic, and is tasked with budgeting and managing the various units of this organization. The Israeli army's statement added that Hosseini played a significant role in the transfer of weapons between the Islamic Republic and Hezbollah and was responsible for distributing advanced weapons among Hezbollah units. According to this report, he oversaw the transportation and allocation of these weapons. Additionally, he was a member of the Jihad Council, the senior military leadership council of Hezbollah. Based on Israeli army information, this staff includes Hezbollah's research and development unit, which is responsible for constructing precision-guided missiles and managing the storage and transportation of weapons in Lebanon. In his role, Hosseini was responsible for budgeting and managing the logistics of Hezbollah's most sensitive projects, including the organization's war plans and other special operations, such as coordinating terrorist attacks against the Israeli government from Lebanon and Syria. The level of Israel's success in countering Hamas and Hezbollah over the past year, according to Alim Saleh, is that the casualty figures reported by Hamas are incorrect; Hamas is the enemy of the people of Gaza. The latest speculations in Israel about the status of Ismail Qaani and Yahya Sinwar; Qaani was not the target. The continuation of the Islamic Republic's proxy attacks and Israel's response to them coincides with the anniversary of October 7.
