The son of a senior Hezbollah lawmaker was killed Wednesday in an Israeli counterstrike in south Lebanon, a source close to the family tells AFP.

The son of Mohammed Raad, head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, “was killed with a number of other Hezbollah members,” in an Israeli strike on a house in Beit Yahun, the source says, requesting anonymity, as they were not authorized to speak to the media.
