Shaheen was responsible for overseeing transactions for the buying of weapons on the Syrian-Lebanese border during the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.
An Israel Air Force aircraft eliminated Hezbollah terrorist Mohammed Mahdi Ali Shaheen in the Hermel area of Lebanon on Thursday, the military announced on Friday.
Shaheen was responsible for overseeing transactions for the buying of weapons on the Syrian-Lebanese border during the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.
A senior member in the terror group’s Geographical Unit, Shaheen conducted deals to purchase weapons and acted as a middleman for the arrival of the shipments and transferring them to the Hezbollah units.
To do so, Shaheen worked with various smugglers and dealers on the Syrian-Lebanese border, the IDF noted.
A ‘violation of understandings’
“Shaheen’s actions posed a threat to the State of Israel and constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military said in its statement.
