Ibrahim was responsible for planning and executing terror attacks against Israel and was in command of ground operations in Jouaiyya.
Ibrahim promoted Hezbollah's activity in southern Lebanon
In the last few months, amid heightened attacks between Hezbollah and the IDF, Ibrahim promoted Hezbollah's consolidation in southern Lebanon while trying to improve the organization's ground combat.
Concurrently, IAF fighter jets attacked in the area of Rihan in Lebanon, launching surface-to-air missiles from Hezbollah's air defense system, which posed a threat to IDF aircraft operating in the Lebanese skies, IDF said.
This is a developing story.
