3 Hezbollah members killed as car targeted in alleged Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon — reports
A car was hit in an airstrike in southern Lebanon, Lebanese media reports.
The Ynet news site, citing a Saudi report, says a “senior Hezbollah member” was among the three killed in the strike.
Lebanese reports cited by Walla say that the car was hit by a drone near Naqoura.
Hezbollah-led forces began launching daily attacks on Israeli communities and military posts along the border on October 8.
The Iran-backed terror group says it is doing so to support Gaza amid Israel’s war with Hamas, triggered by the terror group’s October 7 massacre.
Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi warned this week that Hezbollah would “pay a very high price” for its continued attacks on northern Israel.
