Avichay Adraee claims Israeli army killed Islamic Jihad commander in Lebanon’s Bekaa

Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee said in a post on X that the Israeli army carried out a strike overnight in the Baalbek area, killing Wael Mahmoud Abdel Halim, whom he identified as a commander in the Islamic Jihad movement in Lebanon’s Bekaa region.

Adraee claimed that Abdel Halim had overseen the involvement of Islamic Jihad fighters alongside Hezbollah members in Lebanon and had recently been working on plans targeting the Israeli army.
