Israel-Lebanon latest: Another Hezbollah chief ‘killed’ in Israeli strike as Iran vows revenge over Nasrallah

Israel claims to have killed another key Hezbollah chief as its bombardment continued in Lebanon , after the Lebanese militant group’s 32-year leader Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated in a strike on Beirut .

At least six people were killed in the south of Lebanon and nine others in the Beqaa Valley in the northeast as the Israeli onslaught continued, local media reports said.

The Israeli military claimed to have killed Nabil Kaouk – a senior Hezbollah figure who led the group’s forces in southern Lebanon during Israel’s 18-year occupation – and said it had struck key weapon manufacturing sites, including one used to produce missile and rocket launchers.

The UK government has asked Britons in Lebanon to “leave now” amid concerns over the escalating situation in the Middle East following.

Iran ’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei said Nasrallah’s death “will not go unavenged” as he remembered the Hezbollah leader as the “flag-bearer of resistance” in the region.

A total of 1,030 people, including 156 women and 87 children, have been killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon in less than two weeks, the country’s health minister said.
