IDF announced killing of Hezbollah Radwan commander in Beirut
On Thursday, the IDF announced that the air force killed the Radwan special forces commander in Beirut, Ahmad Ghaleb Balout, the highest-ranking official Israel has killed from Hezbollah since November 2025.
Shortly after, the IDF canceled events in the northern border towns, as they were concerned that Hezbollah might escalate its attacks in response to the killing of Balout.
On Friday, the IDF stated it was preparing for the possibility of rocket fire from Hezbollah toward northern Israel, and urged the public to remain vigilant.
The military clarified that there has been no change to the Home Front Command’s guidelines at this time.
