The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced today, September 11th, 2025, that they eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist named West Said Jabid in southern Lebanon. According to an IDF statement posted on X, Jabid was a significant figure in the organization, involved in operating its power, promoting weapons procurement, and facilitating missile and rocket launches against Israel during the "Northern Arrows" operation. The IDF stated that Jabid's actions, and those of the Iranian militia he was associated with, violated understandings between Israel and Lebanon. The statement further detailed that the eliminated terrorist group participated in fighting and aided Hezbollah during "Northern Arrows," harming IDF forces and Israeli citizens, and was currently operating within Lebanon in coordination with Hezbollah. In a separate post on X, Avichay Adraee, a spokesperson for the IDF, addressed the Shiite community in southern Lebanon, questioning Hezbollah's representation and highlighting the destruction of villages due to the group's decisions. Adraee emphasized that being Shiite does not necessitate being an agent of Iran or engaging in perpetual conflict with Israel, but rather advocating for a dignified and peaceful life in Lebanon. These developments follow earlier reports today, September 11th, 2025, of the Israeli Air Force intercepting a suspicious aerial target near Ramon Airport around 1:30 PM UTC, which triggered sirens in Eilat and Be'er Ora. The IDF confirmed no injuries were reported from that incident. Earlier in the day, shortly before 12:16 PM UTC, the IDF also intercepted unmanned aircraft launched from Yemen.
