JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said Sunday it has killed another high-ranking Hezbollah official in an airstrike as the Lebanese militant group was reeling from a string of devastating blows and the killing of its overall leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

The military said Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah’s Central Council, was killed on Saturday. Hezbollah confirmed his death, making him the seventh senior Hezbollah leader slain in Israeli strikes in a little over a week. They include founding members who had evaded death or detention for decades.

The Israeli military said it carried out another targeted strike on Beirut later on Sunday, with details to follow.

Hezbollah had earlier confirmed that Ali Karaki, another senior commander, died in Friday’s strike that killed Nasrallah. The Israeli military said earlier that Karaki was killed in the airstrike, which targeted an underground compound in Beirut where Nasrallah and other senior Hezbollah figures were meeting.

Israel says at least 20 other Hezbollah militants were killed in the strike, including two close associates of Nasrallah, one of whom was in charge of his security detail.

The Israel Defense Forces assassinated senior Hezbollah commander Nabil Qaouk, the latest of roughly 30 Hezbollah commanders killed in Israeli decapitation strikes over the past few weeks.

Qaouk served as Commander of Hezbollah’s Preventative Security Unit and sat on the group’s Executive Council. He was targeted in an airstrike the day after one targeting Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah. The IDF announced his death on Sunday, which was later confirmed by Hezbollah.


“Qaouk was close to Hezbollah’s senior commanders and was directly engaged in terrorist attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens,” the IDF said. “He joined Hezbollah in the 1980s and was regarded as an important source of expertise in his field, having served as the Deputy Commander of the southern region on the Operational Council, Commander of the southern region and Deputy Commander of the Operational Council.”

“The IDF will continue to strike and eliminate the commanders within the Hezbollah terrorist organization and will act against anyone who threatens the citizens of the State of Israel,” it added.

Worshippers gathered last night in Dearborn to mourn the death of fmr Hezb*llah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
This is the Imam of the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn announcing they "will pray for the soul of Sayyed Al-Shohada," a clear reference to the honorific for Nasrallah.

At the nearby Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, they've held commemoration services for countless Hezb*llah "martyrs."

Unintentional martyrs.  These are the same evil people who brainwash others into being martyrs while they live high off the hog for decades.  Nasrallah has had four decades to become a martyr.  Yet he obviously doesn't believe what his own book says.
