Israel said Sunday it killed another senior Hezbollah official in an air strike on the Lebanese capital after dealing the group a seismic blow by assassinating its leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
Israel announced the killing of Nabil Qaouq, a member of Hezbollah's central council in a strike Saturday, adding that its air force continued to hit "dozens" more targets around Lebanon on Sunday.
Hezbollah has yet to officially announce Qaouq's death but a source close to the group said he had been killed.
Israeli strikes have in recent months decimated Hezbollah's senior command structure, with Nasrallah's right-hand man Fuad Shukr, head of the elite Radwan Force Ibrahim Aqil and others among the dead.
The past week's waves of strikes on Hezbollah strongholds around Lebanon have also plunged the tiny Mediterranean country and the wider region into fear of even more violence to come.
