Career

As a senior figure in Hezbollah, Qaouk is said to be one of the top officers of Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon, a region that has been a focal point in Hezbollah's confrontations[5] .[6] His really military role includes the title of general, reflecting a quite substantial position of bidding within Hezbollah's armed wing.
