Lebanon: Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said Saturday that a second senior commander was among 15 of its fighters killed in an Israeli air strike on its Beirut stronghold the previous day.
The Iran-backed group said Ahmed Mahmud Wahbi led the military operations of its elite Radwan Force in support of Hamas between October 7 when the Palestinian militant group attacked Israel, triggering the Gaza war, and the start of this year.
The Israeli military said that its air strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday eliminated Radwan Force chief Ibrahim Aqil and several other commanders.
