The head of Hezbollah’s logistics headquarters, Suhail Hussein Husseini, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut on Tuesday.
Making the announcement, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) said the headquarters that Husseini commanded oversees Hezbollah logistics and budgeting of its various units.
According to Times of Israel, Hussein was also a member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, the terror group’s top military body.
The IDF says, “Husseini played a crucial role in weapon transfers between Iran and Hezbollah and was responsible for distributing the advanced weaponry among Hezbollah’s units, overseeing both the transportation and allocation of these arms.”
The military says the slain man was “responsible for the budgeting and logistical management of Hezbollah’s most sensitive projects, including the organization’s war plans and other special operations, such as coordinating terrorist attacks against the State of Israel from Lebanon and Syria.”
The military says the headquarters also includes Hezbollah’s R&D, which is responsible for the manufacture of precision-guided missiles.
