Ali Reda Abbas has been appointed as the new commander of Hezbollah's Radwan unit following the death of former commander Ibrahim Aqil in an Israeli airstrike. Abbas, who survived an assassination attempt in the 1990s, is recognized as a key operations officer within Hezbollah's southern command. His newly appointed assistant is Ali Mussa Daqduq, who was previously accused of kidnapping and murdering five American soldiers. The Israeli airstrike targeted a meeting of the Radwan unit leadership, resulting in the deaths of at least 37 individuals, including 16 key commanders.
