Ismail, 52, served as a senior and veteran official in several positions of Hezbollah’s military wing. His current rank is equivalent to a Brigade Commander.

As part of his position, Ismail was involved in the promotion and planning of rocket and anti-tank missile launches toward Israel from the coastal area of Lebanon, the IDF said.

Since October 8, 2023, the Hezbollah commander had organized and planned a number of terror attacks against Israel.
