Abu Ali Khalil, prominently known as Abu Ali Jawad, the former head of security for the late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, has been killed in an Israeli airstrike. The attack occurred while he was in Iran, according to an official statement from Hezbollah on Saturday.

Jawad, who had been in charge of Nasrallah's security for many years, was traveling from Iraq to Iran when the airstrike occurred. His presence was a common sight behind Nasrallah during numerous public appearances.

Following Nasrallah's death in an Israeli airstrike earlier this year, Jawad took charge of overseeing Nasrallah's tomb in Beirut. The Hezbollah official, who requested anonymity due to restrictions on media communication, confirmed the circumstances of the airstrike on Saturday.
