The personal guard of the former Secretary -General of the Lebanese Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah, yesterday, Saturday, was killed in an Israeli strike in Iran near the Iraqi border.
A Hezbollah official and an officer in the Iraqi Border Guard confirmed the killing of Hussein Khalil, the personal guardian of Nasrallah, and an Iraqi element in the “Iraqi Martyrs” faction in a blow to an Israeli march “after they entered Iran.
The spokesman for the “Sayyid Al -Shuhada Brigades”, Kazem Al -Fartousi, confirmed the killing of “the leader of the faction, Haider al -Musawi”, alongside Hussein Khalil and his son Mahdi Khalil.
Hussein Khalil called “Abu Ali”, and he was known as the “shield” of Nasrallah, who was assassinated in an Israeli raid on the southern suburb of Beirut on September 27, 2024, during the last open war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Khalil was like Nasrallah for many years, and he has always stood near or behind during his public looks on party occasions.
The two men also gathered a kinship, as one of the sons of Khalil is married to the granddaughter of Nasrallah.
Khalil appeared during the day of Nasrallah’s funeral while standing on a vehicle that carried his coffin and its path was difficult with the crowds last February 5 months after his death.
Since the start of the Israeli attacks on Iran on June 13, Iranian Morses and missiles, as well as Israeli fighters, crossed in Iraqi airspace, forcing Iraq to close its air field and intensify its efforts to prevent the transfer of confrontations to its territory.
