Wed Sep 25 07:43:53 UTC 2024: ## Hezbollah Denies Israeli Claims of Senior Commander’s Death
**Beirut, Lebanon -** Hezbollah has vehemently denied Israeli claims that senior commander Ali Karki was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs. The resistance group released a statement Monday night asserting that Karki is alive and well, and has been moved to a safe location.
The Israeli regime claimed responsibility for the airstrike, asserting that it targeted a building in the Al-Madi neighborhood, killing Karki. However, no evidence has been provided to support this claim.
The attack followed a week of escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with Israel launching numerous airstrikes on southern Lebanon, resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties and thousands injured. Hezbollah has also suffered losses, including the death of several senior commanders.
In retaliation for the Israeli attacks, Hezbollah launched several operations against Israeli positions and settlements in northern occupied Palestinian territories, causing fear and panic among Israeli civilians. Educational facilities in Haifa were closed, and residents were advised to seek shelter.
Hezbollah’s denial of Karki’s death comes amidst the ongoing conflict and highlights the tense situation in the region. The veracity of Israel’s claims remains unconfirmed, and the situation remains volatile.
