In a statement on the same day, the Israeli military confirmed, "Along with Nasrallah, at least 20 Hezbollah commanders have been eliminated, one of whom was Nasrallah's head of security."
Earlier, on the 27th, the Israeli military announced that it had eliminated Hezbollah leader Nasrallah in an airstrike on Dahieh. Hezbollah also confirmed this.
Additionally, the Israeli military stated in the announcement that it conducted another targeted airstrike in Dahieh, a Hezbollah stronghold on the southern outskirts of Beirut, Lebanon, that afternoon. It also confirmed that another senior figure, Nabil Kawuq, died on the 28th due to the airstrike on the southern outskirts of Beirut.
