Israeli army confirms killing of senior Hezbollah leader in raid on Lebanon

The Israeli army confirmed Wednesday that it killed Taleb Abdallah, a senior leader of the Hezbollah group, along with three other fighters from the group in a raid on a command and control center in southeast Lebanon.

In response to Abdallah's killing, Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets toward northern Israel in a significant escalation of the conflict, which has seen almost daily exchanges of fire between them since the war in Gaza began last October.
