A former bodyguard for Hassan Nasrallah, the slain leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah, has been killed in an Israeli strike in Iran, AFP reports quoting an official from the group.
Hussein Khalil, commonly known as Abu Ali, and nicknamed Nasrallah’s “shield”, was killed near the Iraqi border after crossing into Iran, the Hezbollah official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
An Iraqi armed group said one of its commanders was killed in the attack, and confirmed the death of Khalil and his son.
