Hezbollah confirms death of drone chief
Mohammad Hussein Srour (Haj Abu Saleh)

The head of Hezbollah’s drone and cruise missile command has been killed in an Israeli attack on Beirut, the Lebanon-based militant group has confirmed in a post on Telegram on Friday.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) claimed on Thursday to have killed Mohammad Srour, also known as Abu Saleh, in a strike on an apartment block in the southern suburb of Beirut.

“Fighter jets attacked Beirut and killed Mohammad Hussein Srour,” the IDF said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Lebanon’s National News Agency has reported that “three missiles” had targeted “a residential apartment in a ten-story building.”

In an update on Telegram on Friday, Hezbollah confirmed the death of Srour, 51, who joined the militant group in 1986 and “led military operations for the Islamic resistance’s air force on the Lebanese support front.”
