Hezbollah says senior commander assassinated in Israeli air raid on Beirut
A prominent leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement Sheikh Nabil Qaouk has been assassinated in an Israeli airstrike on Southern Beirut, the resistance has confirmed.
Hezbollah said in a statement on Sunday that Qaouk, deputy head of Hezbollah executive council, was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on the outskirts of Beirut.
Qaouk, who was also the commander of its Preventive Security Unit, had been “consistently present in the arenas of jihad, close to the mujahedeen on the front lines," said the statement.

Earlier in the day, Israel said its military had killed another Hezbollah official, Hajj Abu Ali Reda in Beirut.
Hezbollah, however, said in a statement that “there is no truth to the Zionist allegations about the assassination of our brother fighter, Hajj Abu Ali Reda. He is well and healthy.”
On Friday, Israel assassinated Hezbollah Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah in a massive raid on residential buildings in Beirut's southern suburb.
