Karaki, a member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, the terror group’s top military body, is responsible for the terror group’s military activity in south Lebanon.
There is no official confirmation that Karaki has been eliminated; however, Sky News cited a Lebanese military source saying he was indeed killed in the Dahieh neighborhood of Beirut.
This is the fourth such attack carried out against a target in the Lebanese capital since the start of the war on October 7, 2023.
HEzbollah claims that Karaki was not killed in the attack and he has been taken to a safer location.
