(Corrects headline and first paragraph to show nephew of Naim Qassem was killed, not Naim Qassem himself)
April 9 (Reuters) – Israel said on Thursday it had killed the nephew of Naim Qassem, the leader of the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah, in a strike on Beirut overnight.
“The IDF struck in the Beirut area and eliminated Ali Yusuf Harshi, the personal secretary and nephew of Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem,” the military said.
