Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has announced killing another senior Hezbollah official in an air strike on the Lebanese capital of Beirut, two days after the killing of the militant group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
Making the announcement on Sunday, the IDF said Nabil Qaouq, a member of Hezbollah’s central council was killed in the air strike on Saturday, adding that its air force has continued to hit dozens more targets around Lebanon on Sunday after carrying out “hundreds” of strikes on Friday and Saturday.
According to reports in Israeli media, IDF air strikes have in recent months decimated Hezbollah’s senior command structure, with Nasrallah’s right-hand man Fuad Shukr, head of the elite Radwan Force Ibrahim Aqil and others among those killed.

It then announced that Qaouq was “struck and eliminated” in a strike on south Beirut on Saturday.
“The past week’s waves of strikes on Hezbollah strongholds around Lebanon have also plunged the Mediterranean country and the wider region into fear of even more violence to come,” one of such reports said.
Though the Hezbollah has yet to officially announce Qaouq’s death, Lebanon’s National News Agency have reported a string of raids in and around the city of Baalbek in the east, saying at least six people were killed in a strike on a house in the northeastern Hermel region.
