The IDF announces that senior Hezbollah official Nabil Qaouk was killed in an airstrike last night in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.
According to the IDF, Qaouk was the commander of Hezbollah’s “preventive security unit” and a senior member of the terror group’s central council.
Qaouk was considered to be close to Hezbollah’s leadership, “and was directly involved in advancing terror attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens, including in recent days,” the military says.
He joined Hezbollah in the 1980s, and served as a deputy head and later the head of the southern Lebanon area in the executive council, as well as the deputy head of the executive council.
Fighter jets struck and killed Qaouk in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold, last night.
