HEZBOLLAH’S acting leader has vowed to keep battling Israel despite the killing of many of its top commanders, including its longtime leader.

Israeli strikes have killed leader Hassan Nasrallah and six of his top commanders and officials in the last 10 days. 

Over 1,000 people have also been killed in Lebanon in the past two weeks, nearly a quarter of them women and children, according to the country’s Health Ministry.
