Hezbollah member killed in earlier Israeli strike on south Lebanon, security sources say

An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed a member of Hezbollah and one other Lebanese national, two security sources in Lebanon tells Reuters, after earlier saying two members of Hamas were killed.

Israel has been carrying out airstrikes on southern Lebanon against Palestinian terror groups based there as well as their Lebanese ally Hezbollah, a powerful armed group also backed by Iran, which have fired rockets across the border at Israel.

Hezbollah named the member who was killed as Ali Haderaj, a resident of the village in the areas east of Tyre.

Public broadcaster Kan reports that Haderaj served as a coordinator between Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon on matters of electronic warfare and air defenses.
