Jamaa Islamiya commander Mohammed Hamed Jbara was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Thursday in Bekaa Lebanon
Separate Israeli strikes on Thursday killed five people, including the commander of a Hamas-allied group in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley, militant groups and a security source said.
Israel confirmed it carried out two strikes which killed a Jamaa Islamiya commander and a Hezbollah commander.
Since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel sparked war in Gaza, Israel has repeatedly targeted militants of Jamaa Islamiya, whose armed wing has launched attacks on Israel from southern Lebanon over the past nine months.
