Last Updated: May 7, 2026

On June 21, 2025, a vehicle carrying three men was hit in an alleged Israeli airstrike or drone strike near the Iran-Iraq border on the way from Iraq to Tehran. Hussein Khalil (nicknamed Abu Ali), the former bodyguard and son-in-law of Hassan Nasrallah, was killed, along with his son, Mahdi Hussein al-Khalil and Haider al-Musawi, a senior member of the Kataeb Sayyid al-Shuhada, an Iraqi militia group backed by the Revolutionary Guards.

Hussein Khalil and Haider al-Musawi are considered militants – and therefore legitimate targets – so their deaths have not been counted towards the civilian casualty toll of this incident.

@N0_hizbollah on Twitter/X named the third victim, Mahdi, a “Hezbollah official.” However, Mahdi Hussein Al-Khalil’s role in the Hezbollah organisation remains unclear – as Hezbollah operates both a political and a militant wing, it is Mahdi may have been politically, not militantly, involved – so his has a contested civilian status until further information comes to light.

On the evening of June 21, various sources, including Akharin Khabar and Tirdadname, reported that the three men were killed “on the Iraq-Iran border in an airstrike by the [Israeli military].” Following the strike, Twitter/X user @N0_hizbollah posted photos of Mehdi Hussein Khalil and Abu Ali Khalil, referring to Mehdi as “a Hezbollah official.”

Various funeral announcements featured photos of the father and son in military attire. Al-Manar reported that they were “buried at the Jannat al-Zahra cemetery in al-Kafa’at…alongside other resistance martyrs” in a ceremony organised by Hezbollah.

As Mahdi was the only individual reportedly harmed in this incident who wasn’t a militant, but his civilian status is contested, the civilian harm status recorded for this incident has been recorded as ‘weak’. This will be updated should additional information become available.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strikes to Israeli forces. The sources differed on the nature of the strike, some alleging that it was an airstrike, but others – a drone strike.

Khalil Abu Ali, the personal bodyguard of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the former Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, was martyred in the Israeli attack on Iran. The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported that he was martyred in the Zionist regime's attack on Tehran. Abu Ali's son was also martyred in the attack. Biography of Martyr Abu Ali Khalil, the bodyguard of Martyr Nasrallah Abu Ali Khalil, who was known as "Sayyid's Shield" in Hezbollah's security structure, was one of the high-ranking security forces of Hezbollah in Lebanon and a key and loyal figure in Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah's protection team. He was also Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah's son-in-law and accompanied him for about 15 years and saved Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah from certain assassination several times. Abu Ali Jawad was in charge of all the special guards among the 19 special commanders. He was a very alert and professional man and was with Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah until the moment of his martyrdom. Abu Ali was always around Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah and investigated the slightest suspicious case. He even did his part at his wedding to Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's daughter and did not allow the Hezbollah Secretary General to eat the baklava from the parliament because he was unsure of its source. He had a shaved head and a very serious face, and he was nicknamed "the man who never smiles." The Zionist media also paid special attention to him, and it was repeatedly reported that the Mossad was desperately looking for him. Abu Ali was also present during the Israeli missile attack on Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's headquarters and was seriously injured, but despite this, he did not leave Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah alone, and for this reason he was known as a brave man among Hezbollah members. In addition to being a bodyguard, Abu Ali was also Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's messenger to the military and security branches of Hezbollah, and he tried to exchange messages personally so that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah would not be in danger. How Martyred The vehicle carrying Martyr Khalil, after entering from the Iraqi border and heading towards Tehran, was targeted by an airstrike in the skies of Iran and he was martyred. His martyrdom was a security loss for Hezbollah and a sign of the continuation of the Zionist regime's project of assassinating resistance elites in the countries of the region. Abu Ali Jawad even buried his body secretly at the time of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's martyrdom so that he could be buried in a magnificent ceremony at the appropriate time. In a message to the Iranian people, he announced that "we will stay and continue until the end, and Hassan Nasrallah's path will continue. Israel cannot weaken Hezbollah by killing individuals, because we are all Hezbollah's thoughts."

خلیل ابوعلی، محافظ شخصی سید حسن نصرالله، دبیرکل سابق حزب‌الله لبنان، در حمله اسرائیل به ایران به شهادت رسید. روزنامه الاخبار لبنان گزارش داد که او در حمله رژیم صهیونیستی به تهران به شهادت رسیده است. همچنین، پسر ابوعلی نیز در این حمله به شهادت رسید. بیوگرافی شهید ابو علی خلیل محافظ شهید نصرالله ابوعلی خلیل، که در ساختار امنیتی حزب‌الله با لقب «سپر سید» شناخته می‌شد، از نیروهای بلندپایه امنیتی حزب‌الله لبنان و از چهره‌های کلیدی و وفادار تیم حفاظت سید حسن نصرالله بود. او داماد سید حسن نصرالله نیز بود و حدود ۱۵ سال او را همراهی کرد و چندین بار سید حسن نصرالله را از ترور حتمی نجات داد. ابوعلی جواد در بین ۱۹ فرمانده ویژه، فرماندهی تمام محافظان ویژه را برعهده داشت. او مردی بسیار هوشیار و حرفه‌ای بود و تا لحظه شهادت کنار سید حسن نصرالله بود. ابوعلی همیشه در اطراف سید حسن نصرالله حضور داشت و کوچکترین مورد مشکوکی را بررسی می‌کرد. او حتی در مراسم عروسی خود با دختر سید حسن نصرالله نیز کارش را انجام داد و اجازه نداد دبیرکل حزب‌الله از باقلواهای مجلس بخورد، زیرا از منبع تهیه آنها مطمئن نبود. او سری تراشیده و چهره‌ای کاملاً جدی داشت و به او لقب «مردی که هرگز نمی‌خندد» داده بودند. رسانه‌های رژیم صهیونیستی نیز توجه ویژه‌ای به او داشتند و بارها گزارش شده بود که موساد به شدت به دنبال او بود. در زمان حمله موشکی اسرائیل به مقر سید حسن نصرالله، ابوعلی نیز حضور داشت و به شدت زخمی شد، اما با این وجود سید حسن نصرالله را تنها نگذاشت و به همین دلیل به عنوان یک مرد شجاع در بین حزب‌اللهی‌ها شناخته می‌شد. ابوعلی علاوه بر بادیگارد بودن، پیام‌رسان سید حسن نصرالله با شاخه‌های نظامی و امنیتی حزب‌الله نیز بود و سعی می‌کرد پیام‌ها را خودش شخصاً رد و بدل کند تا خطری برای سید حسن نصرالله پیش نیاید. نحوه شهادت خودروی حامل شهید خلیل، پس از ورود از مرز عراق و در حال حرکت به سوی تهران، در آسمان ایران هدف حمله هوایی قرار گرفت و به شهادت رسید. شهادت او، ضایعه‌ای امنیتی برای حزب‌الله و نشانه‌ای از استمرار پروژه ترور نخبگان مقاومت توسط رژیم صهیونیستی در خاک کشورهای منطقه بود. ابوعلی جواد حتی در زمان شهادت سید حسن نصرالله، پیکر او را به صورت مخفیانه دفن کرد تا در زمان مناسب در یک مراسم باشکوه خاکسپاری شود. او در پیامی به مردم ایران اعلام کرد که “تا آخر می‌مانیم و ادامه می‌دهیم و راه حسن نصرالله ادامه خواهد داشت. اسرائیل با کشتن افراد نمی‌تواند حزب‌الله را تضعیف کند، چرا که همه ما اندیشه‌های حزب‌الله هستیم”.

Published On 22/6/2025 | Last updated: 02:58 (Mecca Time) The personal bodyguard of former Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah was killed on Saturday in an Israeli strike in Iran near the Iraqi border. A Hezbollah official and an officer in the Iraqi border guard confirmed the death of Hussein Khalil, Nasrallah's bodyguard, and an Iraqi member of the Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada (Brigades of the Master of Martyrs) faction, in an Israeli drone strike after they entered Iran. Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada spokesman Kazem al-Fartousi confirmed the death of "the faction's leader, Haider al-Moussawi," along with Hussein Khalil and his son, Mahdi Khalil. Hussein Khalil, nicknamed "Abu Ali," was known as Nasrallah's "shield" before Nasrallah was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs on September 27, 2014, during the last open war between Israel and Hezbollah. Khalil had been Nasrallah's shadow for many years and was always by his side or behind him during his public appearances. The two men were also related by blood, as one of Khalil's sons is married to Nasrallah's granddaughter. Khalil appeared during Nasrallah's funeral procession, standing on a hearse that struggled through the crowds last February, five months after his assassination. Since the start of the Israeli attacks on Iran on June 13, Iranian drones and missiles, as well as Israeli fighter jets, have been flying through Iraqi airspace, forcing Iraq to close its airspace and intensify its efforts to prevent the fighting from spilling over into its territory.

Hezbollah bids farewell to Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's shield, the martyr Abu Ali Khalil, and his son Mahdi. Hezbollah and the resistance movement today bid farewell to the martyrs Hussein Salem Khalil and his son Mahdi Hussein Khalil at the Jannat al-Zahra cemetery in al-Kafa'at. Political, parliamentary, and religious figures, along with activists and a large crowd of local residents, participated in the funeral procession, chanting slogans condemning America and the Israeli entity and expressing support for the resistance. The funeral procession departed from the Imam al-Askari Complex and proceeded to the Jannat al-Zahra cemetery, where the honoring ceremonies began. A group of mujahideen carried the two coffins, draped in the Hezbollah flag, to the accompaniment of the Martyrdom Anthem played by the Imam al-Mahdi Scouts band. The coffin bearers advanced to the main platform in front of the Hezbollah flag. The Lebanese national anthem and the Hezbollah anthem were played, followed by a military unit from the resistance reciting the oath and pledge to the martyrs on the path of jihad and resistance. Prayers were then offered for the two martyrs, after which they were laid to rest alongside other resistance martyrs. In his address, the regional official noted... In Beirut, Hezbollah official Hussein Fadlallah commemorated the spiritual and heroic journey of the two martyrs, affirming that their blood will remain a guiding light on the path of jihad and freedom. He highlighted details connecting them to the values of Ashura and loyalty to the path of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him). Fadlallah added that the martyrs' blood was not shed to leave their cause vulnerable to pressure or threats, emphasizing that the sons of the resistance will continue on their path regardless of the pressures and threats they face, and that they will not fear or tremble before the conspiracies of countries attempting to undermine them. Fadlallah condemned the ongoing aggression against Gaza and the lack of international accountability for the Israeli entity, considering that the new options being proposed aim to empower the enemy, not the Lebanese state. He concluded by saying that the resistance is the symbol of Lebanon's dignity, and that unless the aggression is brought under control, there can be no talk of peace that violates the rights of the Lebanese, kills their people, and confiscates their land, warning against those who "destroy their own homes with their own hands."

حزب الله يشيّع درع الأمين العام السيد حسن نصرالله الشهيد أبو علي الخليل وابنه مهديشيّع حزب الله وجمهور المقاومة اليوم، في روضة جنة الزهراء بالكفاءات، الشهيدين حسين سالم خليل ونجله مهدي حسين خليل، بمشاركة شخصيات سياسية ونيابية وعلمائية، وفاعليات وحشد من الأهالي، الذين رفعوا هتافات حسينية منددة بأميركا والكيان الإسرائيلي، ومناصرة للمقاومة.انطلقت الجنازات من مجمع الإمام العسكري وصولًا إلى روضة جنة الزهراء، حيث بدأت المراسم التكريمية، وتولّت مجموعة من المجاهدين حمل النعشين الملفوفين بعلم حزب الله، وعلى وقع عزف لحن الشهادة من فرقة كشافة الإمام المهدي، تقدّم حملة النعشين نحو المنصة الرئيسة أمام راية حزب الله.عُزف النشيد الوطني ونشيد حزب الله، ثم أدّت فرقة عسكرية من المقاومة القسم والعهد للشهداء على درب الجهاد والمقاومة، قبل إقامة الصلاة على جثماني الشهيدين، ومن ثم ووري الثرى إلى جانب شهداء المقاومة.في كلمته، أشار مسؤول منطقة بيروت في حزب الله حسين فضل الله إلى المسيرة الروحية والبطولية للشهيدين، مؤكداً أن دماءهم ستظل مشاعل هدى ونور على طريق الجهاد والحرية، مستعرضًا تفاصيل تربطهم بالقيم العاشورائية والولاء لنهج الإمام الحسين (ع).وأضاف فضل الله أن دماء الشهداء لم تُبذل لتترك قضيتها عرضة للضغوط أو التهديدات، مؤكدًا أن أبناء المقاومة مستمرون في نهجهم مهما تعرّضوا للضغوط والتهديدات، وأنهم لن يخافوا أو يرتعدوا أمام مؤامرات ودول تحاول النيل منهم.واستنكر فضل الله استمرار العدوان على غزة، وغياب المحاسبة الدولية للكيان الإسرائيلي، معتبراً أن الخيارات الجديدة التي تُطرح تهدف إلى تمكين العدو وليس الدولة اللبنانية.وختم قائلاً إن المقاومة هي عنوان كرامة لبنان، وأنه ما لم تُحكم السيطرة على العدوان، فلا يجوز التحدث عن سلام ينتهك حقوق اللبنانيين ويقتل شعبهم ويصادر أرضهم، محذراً من الذين “يخربون بيوتهم بأيديهم”. المصدر: موقع المنار

The General Secretariat said in its statement: “We have lost dear brothers and sincere leaders who dedicated themselves to defense.” "For the sake of the land and the faith, but their pure blood will remain beacons of guidance and light on the path of freedom and dignity."
