Escalation: Israel Kills IRGC Commander in Lebanon
On September 12, 2025, Israel escalated its military operations by killing Wissam Saeed Jubai, a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah, in southern Lebanon.
The strike targeted Jubai while also hitting Hezbollah compounds in the region, marking a significant increase in Israel's military actions against Iranian-affiliated groups in Lebanon.
This operation reflects ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as Israel's broader strategy to counter Iranian influence in the region.
There are no reports of immediate retaliatory actions from Hezbollah following the strike, but the potential for escalation remains high given the volatile situation.
