An Israeli strike in southern Lebanon has killed a senior Hezbollah commander as tensions continue to boil. The strike Wednesday near the southern coastal city of Tyre took place as global diplomatic efforts have intensified in recent weeks to prevent clashes between Hezbollah and the Israel from spiraling into an all-out war.
BEIRUT — An Israel i strike in southern Lebanon on Wednesday killed a senior Hezbollah commander as tensions between the two sides continue to boil, a Hezbollah official told The Associated Press.
A Hezbollah statement identified the killed commander as Mohammad Naameh Nasser, who went by the name “Abu Naameh,” his nom de guerre. A Hezbollah official speaking anonymously said he was head of the group’s Aziz Unit, one of three regional divisions in southern Lebanon., who was killed in an airstrike June 11. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a speech honoring Abdullah said he played a pivotal role on the front line since clashes began on October 8 leading the Nasr Unit.
Hezbollah launched rockets on northern Israel a day after a Hamas surprise attack on southern Israel in October, leading to limited clashes along the tense border. The attacks have since gradually escalated, with Hezbollah introducing new weapons in their attacks and Israel striking deeper into Lebanon.
