A Hezbollah member has been killed on Tuesday following an Israeli drone strike that targeted a vehicle on the Aitaroun road near the southern town of Bint Jbeil.
“A drone attacked the region of Aitaroun in southern Lebanon earlier today and eliminated the commander of a unit in Hezbollah's special operations division,” said Arabic-speaking Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee on X.
The Public Health Emergency Operations Center, affiliated with the Ministry of Public Health, announced in a statement that the drone strike resulted in one fatality and three injuries, including a child.
