Israel Defense Forces officially announced on Sunday that it killed Nabil Qaouk, the head of Hezbollah's preventive security unit, in an attack in Dahieh in Beirut on Saturday night.
According to an IDF spokesperson, Qaouk was considered to be close to the top of the terrorist organization Hezbollah, and was directly engaged in promoting terrorism against the State of Israel and its citizens.
He joined the organization in the 1980s, and is considered a knowledgable in his field.
In the past, he served as deputy in charge of the southern region on behalf of the executive council, responsible for the southern region and vice chairman of the executive council of Hezbollah.
Maronite Patriarch Béchara Raï raised the stakes Sunday, declaring that southern Lebanon "is not a bargaining chip." In his Sunday homily in Mayfouk, in the Jbeil district, the cardinal called for the "protection" of the region, insisting that such protection "begins with the state holding a monopoly on weapons », a thinly veiled call for Hezbollah's disarmament.
A major step forward in Morocco-Israel relations: the two countries "have confirmed their agreement on elevating [their] diplomatic missions to full embassy status," Le Monde reports.
An Iraqi court on Sunday opened the trial of six French nationals accused of belonging to Islamic State, with a member of the Supreme Judicial Council telling the court that the suspects could face the death penalty if convicted of crimes committed against Iraq and the Iraqi people.
