Israel claims to have killed Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon
- Israeli warplanes targeted Kfar Tebnit area in Nabatieh Governorate
By Said Amori
JERUSALEM (AA) - The Israeli army claimed Saturday to have killed a Hezbollah commander in the area of the Nabatieh Governorate.
“Warplanes from the Air Force targeted a field commander in Hezbollah who was in the Kfar Tibnit area in southern Lebanon,” it said in a statement.
Hezbollah has not commented on the statement.
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported earlier that “an Israeli drone carried out an airstrike, launching a guided missile targeting a car on the Al-Burj road between the towns of Kfar Tebnit and Arnoun, resulting in injuries.”
It did not provide further details.
Fears have grown about a full-fledged war between Israel and the Lebanese resistance group following an exchange of cross-border attacks.
The escalation comes against the backdrop of a deadly Israeli onslaught on Gaza, which has killed more than 38,400 victims since October, following an attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas.
