Israeli Air Force UAV targets Islamic Group terrorist who collaborated with Hamas to attack Israel's northern border.

The IAF eliminated the Hamas-affiliated Islamic Group terrorist Mohammed Jbara in southern Lebanon, the IDF reported on Thursday.

According to the report, Jbara was trusted with facilitating and carrying out terror operations and launches from Lebanon into Israel, some in collaboration with the Islamic terror organization Hamas in the country.

His elimination impaired Hamas's ability to promote and carry out terror operations against Israel along the northern border, which had intensified in recent times.

At press time, there had been rounds of sirens and unofficial reports of shoot-downs by the IDF’s air defense systems which were likely related to a mix of Hezbollah drone and rocket attacks, but the IDF had not yet commented on the developments.
