The Israeli occupation army announced the assassination of 20 leaders from the circle of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, the martyr Hassan Nasrallah, in raids it launched on the southern suburb of Beirut last Friday.

The occupation army said that it assassinated Abdul Amir Muhammad Sablini, who was responsible for building Hezbollah’s force; Ali Nafi Ayoub, who was responsible for coordinating Hezbollah’s firepower; Samir Tawfiq Deeb, Nasrallah’s advisor; and Ibrahim Hussein Jazini, the head of Nasrallah’s special security unit.

In a press statement, Hezbollah mourned Nabil Qaouk, the commander of Hezbollah's Preventive Security Unit, who was assassinated by the Israeli occupation.

The New York Times reported, quoting officials in Tel Aviv, that they said: “We decided to strike Nasrallah at his location, which we had known for three months.”

In addition, American media confirmed that Hezbollah retains thousands of experienced fighters and a large arsenal that it can use despite Nasrallah's assassination.

The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz reported that the Ministry of Interior in the Israeli occupation entity is planning to recruit asylum seekers into the army in exchange for granting them permanent residency.

The Hebrew newspaper added that there are estimates that the occupation army suffers from a shortage of about 10,000 soldiers, as it faces a multi-front war and exhaustion among the soldiers.
