Two Australians, including an alleged Hezbollah fighter, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon, according to Australia’s acting foreign minister, Mark Dreyfus. The victims, Ibrahim Bazzi and his brother Ali Bazzi, along with Ibrahim’s Lebanese wife, Shorouq Hammoud, were targeted in the town of Bint Jbel. The Australian government is currently investigating Hezbollah’s claim that Ali Bazzi was one of their fighters. Hezbollah, a listed terrorist organization in Australia, draped their coffins with the organization’s flag during their funeral. Dreyfus expressed concerns about the escalation of the conflict and warned Australians not to travel to Lebanon. The Australian embassy in Beirut stands ready to provide consular assistance to the Bazzi family. The incident highlights the ongoing conflict in the region and has raised international concerns.
