Israel Claims Nearly Entire Hezbollah Military Leadership Wiped Out
Officials in West Jerusalem have released a list detailing the deaths of over a dozen high-ranking Hezbollah commanders following recent Israeli military actions.

According to statements from officials in West Jerusalem, nearly all of Hezbollah’s military leaders have been killed in recent strikes, particularly after the death of the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, during a bombardment of a compound in Beirut.

On Saturday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry shared a post on X that included a diagram purportedly illustrating Hezbollah's military hierarchy. The diagram indicated that all 18 senior members listed—among them Nasrallah, Ali Karaki, the commander of Hezbollah’s Southern front, along with heads of various units—have been “eliminated.”

In a separate announcement, the Israel Defense Forces disclosed a list naming 11 senior Hezbollah figures, noting that ten of them were also considered “eliminated.” Only Abu Ali Rida, the commander of the Bader unit, is reported to have survived. The IDF's list closely aligned with the Foreign Ministry's findings but added two names: Ibrahim Muhammad Qabisi, who oversees Hezbollah’s rocket and missile operations, and Hussein Srour, the head of the Aerial Command—both of whom are now believed to be dead as well.

Israel appears to be highlighting its military achievements against Hezbollah following the confirmation of Nasrallah's death in a significant airstrike in Beirut. Nasrallah, having led the group for over three decades, was seen as a prominent figure of resistance against Israel and was instrumental in bolstering Hezbollah's strength and influence.

Hours after West Jerusalem announced the death of Nasrallah, Hezbollah confirmed the news and vowed to continue “its jihad in confronting the enemy, in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people.” As of now, the identity of Nasrallah's successor remains uncertain.
