After Nasrallah, Israeli military declares Hezbollah leader Nabil Kaouk is killed

A day after confirming the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a targeted airstrike, the Israeli military has announced the killing of another high-ranking Hezbollah figure, Nabil Kaouk, who was seen as a potential successor. This escalation in violence comes as Israel continues its offensive in Lebanon, targeting numerous Hezbollah sites described as "terror targets".

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, responded to Nasrallah’s death, stating it “will not go unavenged,” raising concerns about the potential for a broader regional conflict.

Supporters of Hezbollah have begun mourning Kaouk, although the organization has yet to publicly comment on his fate. The Israeli navy has intercepted a projectile approaching its shores from the Red Sea, while eight additional projectiles launched from Lebanon have landed in open areas, the military reported.

The ongoing conflict has led to sustained fighting along the Israel-Lebanon border. Overnight clashes continued, with Lebanon firing projectiles into the West Bank following deadly Israeli airstrikes.

The humanitarian toll has been severe, with reports indicating that over 700 individuals have lost their lives and approximately 118,000 have been displaced since the outbreak of violence.
