Hezbollah denies Israel’s claim of killing senior Hezbollah commander

Lebanon’s Hezbollah denies Israel’s claim of killing a senior Hezbollah commander on Tuesday.

This comes hours after Israel announced the death of Hezbollah’s aerial unit commander Ali Hussein Barji in southern Lebanon through an air strike on Tuesday, shortly after accusing him of orchestrating an attack on a northern Israeli army headquarters base.

Hezbollah later denied those claims, saying “the commander was never subjected to any assassination attempt as the enemy claimed”, in a statement on Tuesday.
