Hezbollah Commander Who Was Allegedly Close to General Soleimani Killed in Lebanon

Iranian news agency Tasnim on Sunday reported that Hezbollah commander Ali Mohammed Younis was assassinated in southern Lebanon overnight.

According to reports, his body was found by the side of a road with stab and gunshot wounds between the towns of Qaqiyat al-Jisr and Zutar al-Gharbiya to the south of Nabatiyeh.

The reports also mention that Younis was a close associate of Qasem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Quds Force who was killed in a US airstrike in January.

A video that has recently appeared on Twitter shows a minaret announcing Younis’s death in southern Lebanon.
