Israel says 'more than 20' Hezbollah members were 'eliminated' in airstrike which killed Hassan Nasrallah including terror chief's 'successor' – as deaths are celebrated across the globe

More than 20 Hezbollah members were killed alongside their terror boss Hassan Nasrallah in Friday’s airstrike, Israel says. 

The deadly bombardment killed two close associates of Nasrallah, one of whom was in charge of his security detail. 

The Israeli military said earlier that Ali Karaki, the head of the terror group’s Southern Front, was killed in the airstrike.

Among those ‘eliminated’ include the head of Nasrallah’s security unit, Ibrahim Hussein Jazini, and Samir Tawfiq Dib, who the IDF described as ‘Nasrallah’s long-time confidant and adviser’ 

‘Due to their proximity to him, they served a significant role in the day-to-day operations of Hezbollah and Nasrallah in particular,’ the IDF said.

And today the Israeli military announced it had killed another high-ranking Hezbollah official in an airstrike – Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah’s central council.
