According to the reports, the strike took place in the Beqaa region in southern Lebanon.
The Islamist Jemaah Islamiyah terror group has played a role in the fighting against Israel on the Lebanon-Israel border.
Early on Thursday afternoon, the IDF confirmed the reports, stating: "A short while ago, an IAF aircraft struck and eliminated the terrorist Mohammed Jabarah, a Hamas operative in Lebanon, in the area of Beqaa."
"Mohammed Jabarah was responsible for carrying out terror attacks and missile launches against the State of Israel, including attacks coordinated with the Jamaah Islamiya terrorist organization.
"His elimination diminishes the capabilities of the Hamas terrorist organization to plan and carry out attacks against the State of Israel in the area of the northern border." WATCH
