Jerusalem, Sep 24 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Israeli military confirmed on Tuesday that it killed a senior Hezbollah commander in an airstrike on the southern suburbs of Beirut.
In a statement, the military identified the commander as Ibrahim Muhammad Qubaisi, who was reportedly in charge of Hezbollah's missile and rocket operations.
