The Israel Defense Forces on Monday claimed it has eliminated Hezbollah’s Aerial Unit member Ali Barakat.

"ELIMINATED: Ali Barakat, a terrorist in Hezbollah’s Aerial Unit (127)," IDF posted on X.

Sharing details about the slain Hezbollah member, IDF said Ali Barakat was a significant source of knowledge for the unit.

"Ali Barakat was as a significant source of knowledge for the unit, spending over a decade planning and carrying out UAV attacks on Israel," the force said.

IDF said he was also involved in developing cruise missiles and UAVs for Hezbollah.

In another X post, IDF said it has captured a Syrian man who was allegedly carrying out surveillance operations on the border on behalf of Iran.

The captured operative was identified as Ali Soleiman al-Assi.

"During an intelligence-based, special IDF operation, IDF soldiers detained an Iranian terror network operative in Syria named Ali Soleiman al-Assi," IDF posted on X.

"Al-Assi, a Syrian citizen who lives in the area of Saida in southern Syria, was under IDF surveillance and was found to be a terrorist operative. His activity included gathering intelligence on IDF troops in the border area for future terror activity of the network," the force said, sharing details about the captured person.

IDF said the operation prevented a future attack and led to the exposure of the operational methods of Iranian terror networks located near the Golan Heights.

Al-Assi was transferred for further investigation.
