IDF footage shows airstrike killing of Hezbollah unit commander, Israel says

The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday released footage of an airstrike it said killed a Hezbollah regional division commander on Sunday night.

Hassan Salameh headed Hezbollah’s Nasr Unit, one of three regional divisions in southern Lebanon, the Times of Israel reported.

He was targeted by the Israeli Air Force in southern Lebanon.

Salameh served in several roles in Hezbollah over the years, and assumed command after his predecessor, Taleb Abdullah, was killed in June 2024.
