Hezbollah has officially acknowledged the death of senior commander Ali Karaki, who perished in the Israeli airstrike that also claimed the life of their top leader, Hassan Nasrallah, on Friday. This attack is part of a series of strikes carried out by Israel in recent weeks targeting the Lebanese militant group's high-ranking members.
Earlier reports on Sunday from Israeli officials stated that another senior Hezbollah commander, Nabil Kaouk, was killed in a separate strike the previous day. However, Hezbollah has yet to confirm Kaouk's death.
The recent string of targeted airstrikes signifies a heightened offensive by Israel against Hezbollah, aiming to dismantle the leadership of the organization.
