Nabil Qaouk served as the commander of the group’s Preventive Security Unit, the IDF has said
The Israeli military has claimed to have eliminated another senior Hezbollah official, Nabil Qaouk, who sat on the group’s Central Council. This comes after West Jerusalem recently assassinated Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and reported taking out most of the organization’s military leadership.
In a statement on Sunday, The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that an air raid the previous day “attacked and killed the terrorist” Qaouk, who also led Hezbollah’s Preventive Security Unit.
Qaouk, the IDF said, “is considered to be close to the top” of Hezbollah, and “was directly involved in promoting terrorist acts against the State of Israel and its citizens, even in recent days.” It added that the Hezbollah official joined the group in the 1980s and held several executive posts in southern Lebanon.
