Jerusalem, 9 Jan (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military said on 9 January that the Israeli Air Force killed Ali Hussein, a senior commander of the Lebanese Allah Party, in a bombing on the same day.
The Israeli military issued a statement on the evening of the 9th, saying that Hussein commanded an attack on the headquarters of the Israeli Northern Command on the same day, and the Israeli army then dispatched warplanes to blow up Hussein. Israeli forces also killed several Lebanese Allah members who tried to launch drones into Israel on the same day.
Lebanese Allah launched a drone attack on the headquarters of the Israeli Northern Command in Sefeid, Israel, on the 9th. The attack was in response to the assassination of Saleh Alururi, deputy chairman of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) Politburo, and others in the southern suburbs of Beirut, according to Lebanese Allah-affiliated Lighthouse TV.
Hussein is the second senior Allah commander recently assassinated by Israel. Foreign Minister Katz confirmed in an interview with Israel's Channel 14 television station on the 8th that Israel carried out an assassination of Wissam Tawil, a senior commander of Lebanese Allah, on the 7th.
On October 7 last year, Hamas raided Israel, and a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out. Allah in Lebanon then launched attacks on northern Israel from time to time, retaliating by Israeli air strikes and artillery strikes on targets in southern Lebanon. (ENDS).
