Arab media reported overnight Thursday that Mustafa Badr al-Din, Hezbollah’s military commander, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a Hezbollah facility in Damascus.
The IDF has not responded to the reports, which were published in Al Mayadeen, Al-Arabiya, the Iranian Al-Alam and the Lebanese Daily Star.
Badr al-Din is considered the successor of senior Hezbollah terrorist Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated in 2008, also allegedly by Israel.
