Israel said Sunday it killed another senior Hezbollah official in an air strike on the Lebanese capital after dealing the Iran-backed group a seismic blow by assassinating its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
Israel announced the killing of Nabil Qaouq, a member of Hezbollahโs central council in a strike Saturday, adding that its air force continued to hit โdozensโ more targets around Lebanon on Sunday.
Israeli strikes have in recent months decimated Hezbollahโs senior command structure, with Nasrallahโs right-hand man Fuad Shukr, head of the elite Radwan Force Ibrahim Aqil and others among the dead.
