This happened after Hezbollah had come to the support of Hamas in Gaza after Hamas had attacked southern Israel without warning.
The loss of these significant individuals, many of whom have been with the party since its inception in the early 1980s, will prove to be a daunting task for the organization that is regarded as the most potent political and military force within Lebanon.

Hezbollah’s Annapolis commander, Ibrahim Aqil, was plotting an attack into Israeli territory in order to infiltrate and assault Galilee Israeli communities, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The IDF added that his targets were exactly like those of Hamas on October 7.
Courting Hezbollah paid off for him as the US department of the treasury in 2015 designated Aqil as a specially designated national. He was also designated a specially designated global terrorist in the year of 2019, from where the rate of state department increased. AQIL were no strangers to such heinous acts, they were largely involved in a sizable number of operations including the US embassy and US Marine barracks bombings of the 1983 in Beirut.
Ahmad Wehbe

Hezbollah’s high-ranking officer Ibrahim Mohammed Kobeissi, and commander of Hezbollah’s missile unit, was killed in an Israeli attack on a target in South Beirut. Hezbollah has designated a missile unit and commanded it by Kobeissi.

Who will succeed Nasrallah?
Only Nasrallah is comparable to the group in terms of importance and respect. Nasrallah has made the Man Hashem Safieddine, the cousin of Nasrallah and who runs the political activities of the organisation.
It remains unclear whether he was part of the Aero Club on the whip attack on please me Cadabra, however, the Hezbollah right-wing indication regarding the death of Nasrallah on Friday nothing was said about his successor. The szura council of the country is likely to be called in the next several days or several weeks as other members have promised that there will be elections for a new leader for the country.
