Hezbollah Blames Israel for Killing of Commander in Beirut

HeadlineDec 04, 2013

In Lebanon, a senior commander with the Shia group Hezbollah has been killed. Hassan al-Laqis was gunned down Tuesday outside of his Beirut home. Hezbollah has accused Israel of responsibility, but Israel has denied the claim. The shooting came hours after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out last month’s bombing of the Iranian embassy in Beirut that killed 23 people.
