Hezbollah confirms killing of its commander in Beirut

The Lebanese group says that the “mujahid leader,” Ibrahim Muhammad Qubaisi, “Hajj Abu Musa,” was killed today. Hezbollah made no mention of the location or manner of his death, but Israel earlier claimed to have targeted and killed him in a strike on a residential area in the southern suburbs of Beirut. The strike killed six people in total and wounded at least 15 others, according to the Lebanese government. The Israeli military said that Qubaisi was responsible for recent rocket attacks on Israel.
