Israel on Tuesday eliminated senior Hezbollah terrorist Salman Nemer Jamaa in an airstrike in Damascus, Syria.

Jamaa, who was Hezbollah’s top representative in Syria, was killed in a drone strike near Damascus airport, Arab media reports say. “Syrian regime-affiliated news reported that a vehicle was struck by an Israeli UAV,” the Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the elimination of Jamaa in “an intelligence-based strike in Damascus.”

The successful strike “degrades both Hezbollah’s presence in Syria and Hezbollah’s ongoing force-building efforts,” the Israeli military announced in a press release Tuesday afternoon.

IDF described the slain terrorist as a “key Hezbollah figure” in the Iranian and Syrian regime’s “weapon smuggling to Lebanon.”

“Jamaa, a senior Hezbollah terrorist, has held various positions in the Hezbollah terrorist organization over the past years, especially in the Syrian arena,” the IDF statement noted. “He had previously served as the Head of Intelligence in the Khiam arena, the Head of Operations in Hezbollah’s Damascus command center, and in recent years, Hezbollah’s representative to the Syrian military.”

“As part of his role, Jamaa was responsible for coordinating between Hezbollah operatives and the Syrian military, including supporting weapons smuggling from Syria to Hezbollah, including during the “Swords of Iron” war. Additionally, he was in close contact with Syrian state officials,” the IDF added.
