Top Hezbollah leader assassinated in Lebanon
by Jordan Hilger, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – A top Hezbollah commander close to Qassem Soleimani was assassinated in Lebanon Saturday night, following several months of seeming détente between the US and Iran.
The Iranian Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday that Ali Mohammed Younis, thought to be a friend of the Quds Force leader who was assassinated in January, was discovered with multiple gunshot and stab wounds in a pool of blood near his car outside the town of Nabatiyeh.
Qassem Soleimani, who helped found Hezbollah, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the leader of the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq, were killed by an American drone strike at Baghdad International airport on January 3rd.
Iran responded by shelling two American bases in Iraq, leading to concussive head trauma for 109 U.S. servicemen, but so far the more severe threats against American soldiers made by Iranian top leadership in the wake of Soleimani’s death have not been carried out.
