Pavach was responsible for many anti-tank missiles that have been launched into the territory of the State of Israel during the war.”

“An Air Force aircraft attacked and killed earlier today (Thursday) the terrorist Muhammad Ali Nasser Fran, who is responsible for the infrastructure for the production and equipping of the terrorist organization Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
