| Israeli Airstrike Targets Hezbollah's Third-In-Command Ali Karaki | ||
| 2024-09-24 | ||
Karaki, who is head of Hezbollah’s southern front, was reportedly promoted to replace Ibrahim Aqil, who, along with the entire command of the Radwan terrorist force, was eliminated last week in an Israeli airstrike. While the IDF is still assessing the outcome of the strike, some Arab media outlets suggest that Karaki has been killed. "Sky News Arabic reported that Karaki was killed in the airstrike, which consisted of six missiles that struck the building in which he was staying," the Israeli broadcaster Arutz Sheva reported. "Karaki is the head of Hezbollah’s so-called "Southern Front," responsible for the terror group’s military activity in south Lebanon," The Times of Israel noted. "He is a member of the Jihad Council, Hezbollah’s top military body." The Israeli news website YNET reported: An Israeli airstrike in the Dahieh district of Beirut on Monday evening targeted Ali Karaki, the head of Hezbollah’s southern front and the group’s third-highest-ranking official, just three days after the assassination of senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil and several high-profile figures in the terrorist group’s elite Radwan Force. A security source confirmed to Reuters that Karaki was the target of the strike but said his fate remains unknown. Meanwhile, Sky News Arabia reported, citing a Lebanese source, that Karaki was killed. In a brief statement, the Israeli military said it carried out a targeted strike in Beirut. Ynet security analyst Ron Ben-Yishai noted that Karaki and Talal Hamiyah are the only remaining senior members from Hezbollah’s old military leadership following a series of recent assassinations in Beirut.
Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group says that senior leader Ali Karaki, the head of the southern front, is okay and has been moved to a safe place, after a security source told Reuters he was targeted in an Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut.

| #1 The interesting thing is - what about Nasrullah? Is he more useful alive? Really well hidden? Or just last on the to do list? Or what? |
