The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the elimination of another Hezbollah commander, Nabil Qaouk. He was killed in an air strike on the Lebanese capital, according to The Times of Israel.
Qaouk was the commander of Hezbollah's preventive security unit and a senior member of the group's central council.
He was considered close to Hezbollah's leadership and, according to the Israeli army, was directly involved in carrying out attacks against Israel, including in recent days.

He was killed last night in airstrikes in the Dahieh neighborhood in southern Beirut, where Hezbollah's central headquarters is located.
