The Israeli military has killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an air strike in southern Beirut, killing Ali Karake, the group’s top commander in southern Lebanon. Nasrallah’s body was found intact at the site of the Israeli air attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The Israeli military also disclosed that it has killed Nabil Kaouk amid an exchange of strikes between the two sides. Kaouk had been a member of Hezbollah since the 1980s, previously serving as deputy director general of the southern region.

Before his death on Friday when Israeli jets attacked Hezbollah’s heartland in the south of the Lebanese capital, Nasrallah was considered the most powerful man in the country. For more than three decades, he headed the Iran-backed movement that was Israel’s sworn enemy. Israel’s military said on Sunday that “more than 20 other terrorists of varying ranks” were also killed in the attack.

Hezbollah has not commented on Kaouk’s fate, but supporters have been posting mourning messages for him since yesterday. The Israeli military continues to attack and eliminate the commanders of the Hezbollah terrorist organization and to act against anyone who threatens the citizens of the State of Israel. The Israeli military said Sunday evening it hit dozens more Hezbollah targets in Lebanon during a new barrage “a short while ago”, as frequent cross-border air raids continued.
