Hezbollah confirms that Ibrahim Qubaisi, the commander of the terror group’s rocket and missile division, was killed in an Israeli strike yesterday in Beirut.

The terror group announces Qubaisi’s death, along with another operative believed to have been killed alongside him.

Hezbollah refers to Qubaisi as a commander. Hezbollah rarely refers to its senior operatives slain in Israeli strikes as commanders and has only done so four times previously.

Since Israel escalated its attacks on the terror group in recent days, Hezbollah has not named any of the operatives killed in the strikes, making the announcement of Qubaisi’s death an exception.
