Ghazi Ali Dawi (Arabic: غازي علي ضاوي) was a Field Officer of Hezbollah. He was born in 1988 at Khiam, in the Lebanon. He was killed by a drone strike in 2015 at Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Quneitra Governorate, Syria during the Syrian War by Israel.
Biography
Ghazi Ali Dawi also known as Danyal or Daniel was a 26-year-old from Khiam town in the South Lebanon Governorate of Southern Lebanon.[1] He was lower-level Hezbollah ground commander in charge of smaller units or geographic zones in the Golan Heights. [2]
Assassination
In 2015, days after Hassan Nasrallah declared that Israel's drone strike in Syria meant that the Syrian Arab Republic and its allies had the right to respond, an Israeli helicopter blew up Ghazi Ali Dawi and five other Hezbollah commanders including Jihad Mughniyah and Mohamad Issa in Quneitra Governorate. They were driving in a convoy in Quneitra Province alongside Revolutionary Guard Council (IRGC) troops near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, and on 18 January 2015 the convoy was destroyed by the Israeli helicopter.[3][4]
