The Hezbollah terror group announces the death of a senior commander in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon earlier today.
Hezbollah in a statement says Muhammad Nimah Nasser, also known as Abu Nimah, from the south Lebanon town of Haddatha, was killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” the terror group’s term for Israeli strikes.
Nasser was killed in a strike in the coastal city of Tyre.
Hezbollah refers to Nasser as a commander. According to reports, Nasser commanded Hezbollah’s Aziz regional division in southern Lebanon.
The terror group rarely refers to its senior operatives slain in Israeli strikes as commanders.
The only other operatives referred to as commanders were Taleb Abdullah — the commander of the Nasr regional division — killed last month, and Wissam al-Tawil — the deputy head of the terror group’s elite Radwan unit — killed by Israel in January.
Bridging the US-Israel divide
While the heart of The Times of Israel’s work takes place in Israel, so many of Jerusalem’s actions are influenced by those in Washington’s halls of power.
As ToI’s US bureau chief, I work to gain access to decision-makers in the United States government so our readers can understand the US-Israel relationship beyond the platitudes evident in public statements.
I'm proud of our ability to inform without sensationalizing, our dedication to be fast while ensuring accuracy, and our determination to present Israel's entire, complex story.
