The Israeli army on Friday claimed that it has managed to confirm that Hezbollah’s so-called Unit 121 was behind the 2023 “assassination” of Lebanese Forces official Elias Hasrouni in south Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil district.

“This comes contrary to the rumors spread by Hezbollah, which claimed that he was killed in a traffic accident. Hasrouni, aged 70 when he was assassinated, was known for his stance that fiercely opposes Hezbollah,” Israeli army Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on X.
