IDF Strikes Radwan Force Command Centre in Beirut — Kills IRGC-Linked Operative in Bekaa Valley

The IDF announced over 100 strikes in Lebanon in the past day, with notable strikes in two locations. In Beirut's southern Dahiyeh suburb — Hezbollah's heartland — the IDF struck a command centre and training compound belonging to Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force. The IDF said members of the Radwan Force operating at the compound had been preparing for attacks on Israeli forces and Israeli civilians. The Radwan Force, which suffered 80 killed since Monday according to IDF figures, is Hezbollah's most capable commando unit — trained for cross-border incursions into Israel. In the Bekaa Valley, the IDF killed Mustafa Ahmad al-Zein, a Hezbollah operative described as having maintained close ties with Iran's IRGC Quds Force. Al-Zein had reportedly lived in Iran in recent years — suggesting he served as a direct liaison between Hezbollah's Bekaa operations and the IRGC command structure. The killing of al-Zein further disrupts the Quds Force-Hezbollah command links that were first targeted by the killing of Quds Force commanders in Beirut earlier on Day 9. The dual Lebanon strikes — urban Dahiyeh and rural Bekaa — demonstrate the IDF's continued operational tempo across all Hezbollah-controlled Lebanese geography.
