Israeli military claims hit on Hezbollah HQ commander

Israeli forces have reported the killing of another senior Hezbollah commander in a strike on the Lebanese capital.

The Israeli army said in a statement on X on Tuesday that Suhail Husseini, head of the Hezbollah headquarters, was killed as its fighter jets “targeted the Beirut area”.

Israel has claimed significant success since it began targeting the Lebanese armed group’s chain of command last month in a series of attacks that have also killed many civilians.

According to the Israeli army, Husseini was involved in weapons transfers between Iran and the group and in distributing smuggled weapons among various units.

Husseini’s death was another significant strike on Hezbollah for the Israeli army.
