The Israel Defense Forces on Monday said it has eliminated a high-ranking Hezbollah commander who was responsible for planning and executing rocket and anti-tank missile attacks on IDF troops.

The commander was identified as Abu Ali Rida.

Sharing details, IDF posted on X: "The IAF struck and eliminated Abu Ali Rida, the Hezbollah commander of the Baraachit area in southern Lebanon. Abu Ali Rida was responsible for planning and executing rocket and anti-tank missile attacks on IDF troops and oversaw the terrorist activities of Hezbollah operatives in the area."

The Israeli force said Ahmed Al-Dalu, a member of the Islamic Jihad's Military Intelligence Unit, was also eliminated in an IAF strike in Gaza.

"Ahmed Al-Dalu took part in the October 7 Massacre in the Israeli community of Kfar Aza. An additional terrorist was eliminated alongside him. Throughout the war, Al-Dalu was involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks against the citizens of the State of Israel,"the force said in its X post.

In another X post, IDF said it has captured a Syrian man who was allegedly carrying out surveillance operations on the border on behalf of Iran.

The captured operative was identified as Ali Soleiman al-Assi.

"During an intelligence-based, special IDF operation, IDF soldiers detained an Iranian terror network operative in Syria named Ali Soleiman al-Assi," IDF posted on X.

"Al-Assi, a Syrian citizen who lives in the area of Saida in southern Syria, was under IDF surveillance and was found to be a terrorist operative. His activity included gathering intelligence on IDF troops in the border area for future terror activity of the network," the force said, sharing details about the captured person.

IDF said the operation prevented a future attack and led to the exposure of the operational methods of Iranian terror networks located near the Golan Heights.

Al-Assi was transferred for further investigation.
