According to multiple (unconfirmed) social media posts, Hezbollah’s number two commander has been taken out in an airstrike in Lebanon.
Al Din had worked his way up the ranks of the political party/militant group.
Hezbollah has had repeated clashes with Israel as the Jewish state wars with Hamas. Israel has already responded before the latest news by taking another of their leaders, Taleb Sami Abdullah (spelling varies by news outlet).
Hezbollah had ratcheted up tensions Wednesday by firing over 200 rockets into Israel.
After the Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah official Abdullah, leaders were scared they were next.
