(NCA NewsWire) Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah claims one of two Australian men killed by an air strike in southern Lebanon was one of its fighters.
Ali Bazzi, 30, was killed after a suspected Israeli air strike hit a two-storey building in the Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil on Tuesday.
Local media reported that three people — Mr Bazzi, his brother, Sydney man Ibrahim Bazzi, and his wife Shorouq Hammoud — died in the attack.
Pictures from a funeral service held for all three individuals on Wednesday show each person’s casket adorned in Hezbollah flags.
The group has not claimed that Ibrahim or his wife were fighters with the group.
