The IDF announced on Wednesday that the IAF conducted an intelligence-based strike and eliminated Mahran Ali Nasser Al-Din, a significant terrorist in Hezbollah’s Unit 4400.
The IDF explained that Hezbollah’s Unit 4400 is responsible for smuggling weapons into Lebanese territory from Iran and its proxies, aiming to maximize Hezbollah’s weapons stockpiles. Since its establishment, Unit 4400 has established numerous smuggling routes along the Syria-Lebanon border.
During the war, the IDF conducted extensive strikes on Hezbollah’s Unit 4400 and its commanders, including the elimination of the commander of Unit 4400, Muhammad Ja’far Qasir, and his designated successor, Ali Hassan Gharib.
Mahran Ali Nasser Al-Din played a significant role in Hezbollah’s weapons smuggling operations, and he was directly involved in coordinating with smugglers operating along the Syria-Lebanon border.
The IDF stressed that the activity, which facilitates Hezbollah’s armament, constitutes a clear threat to the security of the State of Israel and violates the understandings reached between Israel and Lebanon.
