Accounts on social media circulated news about the killing of the leader of the Iraqi Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia, Qais Khazali, in an air strike during a march on the Iraqi-Syrian border.
Some pointed out that Khazali’s absence raises suspicions, as even his closest followers and those close to him were unable to know any details about him.
On the other hand, two leaders in the Popular Mobilization Forces denied to An-Nahar the veracity of this news, and said that this rumor came from the Israeli Unit 8200.
For his part, the spokesman for the “Al-Sadiqoun” bloc, Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Planning Committee, Muhammad Karim Al-Baldawi, told “An-Nahar” that “Sheikh Qais is in good health and carrying out his duties,” considering that he is “a man of the resistance who is in good health and well and is managing the movement’s work with full confidence.”
Regarding his interpretation of the news published at this particular time, he replied, “The Zionist media is trying to influence the morale of the resistance fighters because it knows the reputation of the sheikh and knows his position and his weight in the resistance movement, and with this movement that shook Syria, the regime in Syria is relying on the media to influence the axis of resistance and the resistors.” In return, they raise things like this.”
