The Israeli army claimed on Monday that it had killed Hussein Moukalled, described as the head of the Hezbollah intelligence services headquarters, during a strike carried out on Sunday evening in Beirut. The announcement was made via an official statement.

In its statement, the Israeli army specified that “during a precise strike in Beirut” conducted the day before, “the terrorist Hussein Moukalled, who led the Hezbollah intelligence services headquarters, was eliminated.” The military institution did not provide additional details about the operational circumstances of the attack or any potential collateral victims.

No independent confirmation was immediately available regarding the identity of the targeted individual or the exact toll of the strike. The Hezbollah, a Lebanese political-military organization, had not immediately reacted to the Israeli announcement.
