A Lebanese security source on Sunday said that Bazzi was killed in a "combat zone," without specifying the location.
A website for Bint Jbeil, Bazzi's hometown in southern Leb, announced his death on Sunday and posted pictures of him in military garb and holding an automatic rifle, saying he "died a martyr as he was carrying out his sacred duty as a jihadist."
A photo distributed in Sidon of Bazzi, showed a man with a white beard wearing a camouflage military uniform and a green beret.
