On 8 January 2024, al-Tawil was killed by an Israeli airstrike against a vehicle in the village of
Majdel Selm in Lebanon. Another person was also killed in the airstrike. According to a security official, his killing was a "painful blow" to Hezbollah. According to some Arab media outlets, he was reportedly the brother-in-law of
Hassan Nasrallah, the
secretary-general of Hezbollah. In response to al-Tawil's killing, Hezbollah launched a drone attack on Israel's
Northern Command headquarters in
Safed on the following day, situated approximately from the border. ==References==
