The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Wednesday that it had killed Hezbollah terrorist Kider al-Shaebia, who was responsible for a July rocket attack that killed 12 Israeli Druze Arab children in a playground.
The IDF said in a statement:
On July 27, 2024, the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah fired a rocket loaded with 53 kilograms of explosives into a soccer field in Majdal Shams, northern Israel. On Saturday night, a rocket fire killed 12 innocent children playing soccer.
Yesterday (Wednesday), based on IDF intelligence, IAF fighters eliminated terrorist Hider al-Shaebia, responsible for the attack in Majdal Shams. Heidel commanded the Har Dov district of the terrorist group Hezbollah.
Heidel was also responsible for firing hundreds of rockets and anti-tank missiles at IDF posts in the areas of Har Dov, Mount Hermon and the northern Golan Heights.
The IDF continues to work against the threat posed by the terrorist organization Hezbollah in order to protect the State of Israel.
The rocket landed in a playground near an air raid shelter between a soccer field and a playground, killing children as they scrambled to protect themselves, Breitbart News reported on its website.
Immediately after the Majdal Shams attack, the Israel Defense Forces killed Hezbollah's deputy commander Fuad Shukr in an airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon. Shukr was also involved in the 1983 bombing of a US Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 US servicemen.
