Hezbollah on Sunday confirmed that another top commander, Ali Karaki, died in the strike that killed Nasrallah. The Israeli military had earlier said that Karaki was killed in the strike, which targeted what the military said was an underground compound where senior Hezbollah figures were meeting.
This development came as the Israeli military announced the killing of another high-ranking Hezbollah official in an airstrike as the Lebanese militant group was reeling from a string of devastating blows and the killing of its chief Hassan Nasrallah. The military said Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah’s Central Council, was killed on Saturday. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah, and it was not known where the strike took place.

Hezbollah has also been targeted by a sophisticated attack on its pagers and walkie-talkies that was widely blamed on Israel. A wave of Israeli airstrikes across large parts of Lebanon has killed at least 1,030 people in less than two weeks, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
