Senior Hezbollah commander killed in Aleppo

BEIRUT: Lebanon’s Hezbollah group says it has recovered the body of a senior commander who was killed during fighting in Syria’s northern province of Aleppo.
Hezbollah said the body of Ali Fayyad, known locally as Haj Alaa, was recovered in an operation in which Syrian army and Hezbollah special forces took part.
Hezbollah has been fighting alongside Bashar Assad’s troops in Syria and the forces recently took from Daesh the town of Khanaser and its surroundings in Aleppo.
Fayyad is a Hezbollah veteran who has led major battles against the Israeli army in south Lebanon. He was among four Hezbollah cadres killed in Aleppo last week.
