The Israeli military claims that its forces have killed a senior Hezbollah commander allegedly involved in the kidnapping and killing of five American soldiers in Iraq in 2007.

Ali Mussa Daqduq was killed on Friday in a “precise strike” south of the Litani River in Lebanon, the military said.

“Over the past several years, Daqduq led much of Hezbollah’s operational planning against IDF soldiers along the Lebanon border,” the military said.

“In 2007, he was imprisoned by US forces after orchestrating the kidnapping and murder of five American soldiers” in Iraq, the military claimed.
