Israel Kills Senior Hezbollah Leader Nabil Kaouk in Escalating Lebanon Airstrikes
Israel continues its intensified air campaign against Hezbollah, announcing the death of senior commander Nabil Kaouk following Friday’s strike that killed the group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah. Israel’s military confirmed strikes on dozens of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, including missile launch sites, weapons storage facilities, and other terrorist infrastructure.
These recent attacks are part of Israel’s ongoing effort to dismantle Hezbollah’s capabilities amid escalating conflict with Iran-backed forces.
In response, Hezbollah has continued launching projectiles at Israel, with the Israeli navy intercepting a missile from the Red Sea and several others falling in open areas. The deaths of Nasrallah and Kaouk mark significant blows to Hezbollah and Iran’s influence in the region.
Lebanese authorities report that Israeli strikes have killed over 1,000 people and injured more than 6,000 in the past two weeks. The humanitarian crisis deepens, as around one million Lebanese have been displaced, with many seeking shelter in Beirut.
