Background

Muhammad Ali Bazi served as the chief of intelligence for Hezbollah's Nasr regional division, one of the organisation's primary geographic command structures covering operations in southern Lebanon. As divisional intelligence chief, Bazi held responsibility for operational security, targeting intelligence, and counter-intelligence functions within the Nasr division's area of operations. He was killed on 7 May 2026 in the same IDF airstrike on Dahiyeh that killed Radwan Force commander Ahmad Ghaleb Balout and aerial-defence chief Hussein Hassan Romani.

Bazi was killed alongside Ahmad Ghaleb Balout and Hussein Hassan Romani in a 7 May 2026 IDF strike on Beirut's Dahiyeh district. The three-man kill in a single strike represents significant command-level attrition across Hezbollah's Radwan Force and Nasr regional division. The strike was the first on Dahiyeh in approximately one month and occurred during an active Ceasefire window, with Iran simultaneously reviewing the US MOU delivered via Pakistan. The IDF stated it had killed more than 220 Hezbollah operatives since the 16 April Ceasefire. Hezbollah's response to the triple killing remained restrained.
