According to the IDF, Ismail Yusef Baz had served for decades with Hezbollah in a variety of posts before becoming coastal commander

Among his various roles was managing both rocket and anti-tank missile attacks from the coastal region into Israel.

In addition, Baz masterminded various terror operations against Israel.

Baz continues the list of close to a dozen senior Hezbollah officials whom Israel has killed during the war, with a smaller number of those being as high as the rank of brigade commander.

The attack also comes following Iran's failed attempt to strike Israel with around 350 aerial threats and as Jerusalem contemplates the severity of its expected response.

Redwan Force

The IDF eliminated on Tuesday Muhammad Hossein Matzafa Shouri, the commander of the rocket and missile unit of the western sector of Hezbollah's Redwan Force in southern Lebanon in the village of Kfar Dunin.

Shouri was responsible for the planning and execution of many rocket firing plans towards Israel from the central and western sectors of Lebanon.
