Israel attacks Syria to target Hezbollah operative

Strike near Quneitra aimed to disrupt Hezbollah's presence along Israel's northern border with Syria

The Israeli military claimed that it had killed Adham Jahout, a Hezbollah operative, in an air attack on  southwestern Syria.

The atack, was carried out  near Quneitra, under the pretext of disrupting Hezbollah's presence in Syria.

Jahout reportedly acted as a key intermediary, relaying intelligence gathered from Syrian regime sources to Hezbollah, facilitating the group’s operations in the Golan Heights.

While Hezbollah and Syrian officials have yet to respond to Israel’s claim, Syria’s state news agency SANA confirmed an Israeli atack in Quneitra, reporting the death of a Syrian internal security officer.

No further details were provided.

The Israeli army has been attacking Syria since 2011, targeting Iranian forces, Hezbollah operatives, and Syrian government assets involved in activities hostile to Israel.

Despite these setbacks, the Hezbollah maintains that its military capabilities remain intact.

According to Hezbollah’s deputy leader Naim Qassem, the group has sustained "painful blows" but insists that its forces are still operational and capable of retaliating against Israel.

Israel has deployed several army divisions into southern Lebanon in recent weeks, continuing  its ionvasion alongside air attacks, including in Beirut’s civilian residential areas.
