Senior Hezbollah commander Mohammad Nameh Nasser was killed in a retaliatory Israeli rocket attack in southern Lebanon. The incident took place on Wednesday (July 3). It killed the second in command within weeks.

This information was reported in the report of the news agency Reuters on Thursday (July 4).

According to the report, the top commander of Hezbollah, Mohammad Nasser, was killed in an Israeli attack in Southern Lebanon on Wednesday.

Hezbollah's senior politician Hasan Fadallallah said Hezbollah would "punish" Israel for its crimes, so that the enemy would understand how long the arm of resistance is.

The Israeli military says it has shot and killed Hezbollah's Mohammed Nasser, calling him the commander of a unit responsible for firing into Israel from Southwest Lebanon.

Nasser, who was killed in an airstrike near the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, was one of several Hezbollah commanders killed in the battle, two Lebanese security sources said.

Hostilities arising from the Gaza war have raised concerns about a widening and destructive conflict between heavily armed adversaries, prompting US diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said Israeli forces were hitting Hezbollah very hard every day and would be ready to take any action necessary against the group, although reaching a negotiated settlement would be a priority.

Meanwhile, no casualties were reported in Israel due to Hezbollah's attack. Israel's Defense Ministry said air raid sirens sounded in several parts of northern Israel.

Israel's military did not fire a few rockets but said most of them fell in the open, some were intercepted, while several launches fell in the Kiryat Shmona area.

It added that no casualties were reported but firefighters were working to put out the fire caused by the rocket attack.

After the rocket salvos, Israel said its warplanes hit a Hezbollah launcher that was used to fire barrages at Israel, as well as two additional launchers.

Lebanese sources say Nasser is responsible for a portion of Hezbollah's operations along the border. A second Hezbollah fighter and a civilian were also killed, a source said.

Nasser was a top commander of Hezbollah. He was of the same rank and importance as Taleb Abdullah, who was killed in an Israeli strike in June.

An Israeli military statement said Nasser and Abdullah served as two of the most important Hezbollah terrorists in Southern Lebanon.

Senior Hezbollah politician Hassan Fadallallah said Nasser knew he was an Israeli target but had not left the battlefield in nine months. Hezbollah will punish Israel for its crimes.

Hezbollah-Israeli hostilities have caused widespread damage on both sides of the border, forcing thousands to flee their homes.

According to a Reuters count, more than 300 Hezbollah fighters and 87 civilians have been killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Israel, on the other hand, said the Lebanese attack killed 18 soldiers and 10 civilians. 

Citizens of the UK will vote on Thursday (July 4) to decide who will be in power for the next five years. Various polls indicate that the 14-year rule of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's party, the Conservative Party, is coming to an end.

Polling firm Survation says Keir Starmer's Labor Party is set to win 484 of the 650 seats. However, nothing can be said conclusively before the results of the polls are announced.

This information has been reported by the British media BBC.

According to the report, 34 candidates of Bangladeshi origin are competing in this election.

Voting will continue from 7 am to 10 pm local time today. In addition to the ruling Conservative Party and the main opposition Labor Party, more than half a hundred parties including the Liberal Democratic Party, Green Party, and Reform Party are participating in the election.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced early elections on May 22, six months before the end of the government's term.

The parties have made various promises in the election manifesto to pull public opinion towards them.

Analysts say the country's fragile economy, high cost of living and immigration could affect the election this year since the UK left the European Union.

Labor's Starmer, who is leading in the polls, has been campaigning to restructure the economy, speed up health care, lower the cost of living and send illegal immigrants to their home countries rather than to Rwanda. He called on the Conservatives to vote Labor to end 14 years of chaotic rule.

Meanwhile, Conservative Party leader Mel Stride said on Wednesday (July 3), the day before the election, that according to opinion polls, Labor is most likely to win a majority.

In this regard, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that Mel Stride wanted to warn the people about the consequences of the majority of the Labor Party through that speech.

Optimistic about winning, Sunak said he is fighting hard for every vote. He claims that 100,000 people can make a difference in this election; he has also seen the analysis.

"Of course I will take responsibility, because I am the leader of the party," said Sunak, stating that he would take full responsibility for the election results.

In this election, current MP Rushnara Ali, Rupa Haque, Tulip Rezwana Siddique and Afsana Begum have been nominated from Labor Party. Apart from this, 30 more candidates of Bangladeshi origin have received nominations from various parties.
