Please help with syntax

Idea is to block those <li> with <a href> containing ad_* but not the others

<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/old_123">OLD_123</a></li>
<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/ad_123">AD_123</a></li>
<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/new_123">NEW_123</a></li>
<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/old_456">OLD_456</a></li>
<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/ad_456">AD_456</a></li>
<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/new_456">NEW_456</a></li>
<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/old_789">OLD_789</a></li>
<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/ad_789">AD_789</a></li>
<li class="abcd efgh"><a href="/ijkl/new_789">NEW_789</a></li>

Thanks in advance

To hide an element based on its text content, you need XPath, which is being considered for ABP and currently supported by uBlock Origin: forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21209
