Four people were killed in a strike in Kfar Reman, southern Lebanon, Lebanese media reported, while IDF sources pointed out the assassination targeted a logistics commander of the Radwan force.

The IDF battalion in the area was constrained by the volume of terrorist infiltrations across multiple locations, as well as by damage to command and control systems at higher levels.

Prime Minister Netanyahu immediately ordered the strikes after a security assessment with defense officials.

Some of the missing hostage remains may be located behind the Yellow Line Israel withdrew to under the terms of the US-brokered Gaza deal. 

Forces dealt with simulated attempted takeovers of additional northern communities, IDF facilities, and outposts along the border.

This contradicts Hamas's comments from earlier on Sunday that they would reportedly release all remaining hostages, living and deceased, by dawn on Monday, October 13.

Hamas has reportedly begun to gather the living hostages in preparation for their handover to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

“Iran took a heavy blow from the IDF," the official added. "It knows very well the scope of the damage it suffered. It understands the meaning of the damage and Israel’s capabilities.”

Among the planes that attacked Iran's nuclear facilities this summer was an old and antique F-15that the Americans transferred to Israel mainly for spare parts

This is the second discovery in the past few weeks; both incidents were reportedly “under Iranian direction,” according to security assessments.
