The Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet security service said they carried out a precision airstrike on 11 July in al-Numairiya, in Lebanon’s Nabatiyeh district, killing Muhammad Shoaib, a senior Lebanese militant.

The military said the strike was conducted by the Israeli Air Force using real-time intelligence supplied by Military Intelligence, Northern Command and the Shin Bet. Officials described Shoaib’s elimination as a significant setback for the weapons-smuggling route from Iran and for planned cross-border assaults. Israel did not report any casualties to its forces or provide further operational details.
