Israeli forces have killed a senior Hezbollah commander in a drone strike near Tyre, Lebanon. The commander, identified as Abu Ali Nasser, was the head of Hezbollah’s Aziz unit responsible for the border region with Israel. This strike is part of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with over 400 people killed in Lebanon by Israeli forces since October.
Reports indicate that the conflict has led to tens of thousands of people being displaced in both Lebanon and Israel. Hezbollah has reported that about 330 of its fighters have been killed by Israel, while there have been civilian casualties on both sides of the border. The situation has caused a humanitarian crisis, with the UN expressing concern over the displacement of civilians and the lack of aid reaching Gaza.
In response to the recognition of a Palestinian state by Slovenia’s parliament, the country’s conservative opposition has filed a demand for the constitutional court to nullify the decision. The opposition argues that the recognition undermines democratic procedures and supports the terrorist organization Hamas.
In other news, Israeli forces have killed five Palestinians in military operations in the occupied West Bank, while Yemen’s Houthi rebels have agreed to release a member of the Islah party as part of a deal with the Saudi-backed government. These events highlight the ongoing conflict and tensions in the region.
