The Israeli military said on ⁠Thursday that its forces killed a member of Iran's Quds Force in Lebanon who had been involved in planning attacks from Syria and Lebanon.

The military ‍identified the man as Hussein ‍Mahmoud Marshad al-Jawhari, calling him a key operative in the force's unit ⁠840.

He was assassinated in the area or Ansariyeh, the military added in a statement, ​without giving any further details of his death.

Al-Jawhari "operated under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and was involved in ‍terror activities, directed by Iran, against the State of ⁠Israel and its security forces," the statement said.

Israel and Iran fought a brief war in June and the Israeli military has been carrying out ⁠strikes in Lebanon on ​a near-daily basis, ⁠in what it says is an effort to stop Iranian-backed ‍Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah from rebuilding.

A U.S.-backed ceasefire agreed in November ‌2024 ended more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and required the disarmament ⁠of ​the powerful terrorist group, beginning in areas south of the river adjacent to Israel.

There was no ‍immediate comment from Iran or Lebanon.
