Hezbollah official killed in Israeli strike on car in south Lebanon – security source

A military security source says an Israeli strike a short while ago on a car in south Lebanon killed a Hezbollah official in the town of Bazouriye, close to the coastal city of Tyre.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) says “a raid by an enemy drone targeted a car” in the south Lebanon district, killing at least one.

The army security source, requesting anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media, says the person killed was “a Hezbollah official.”

An AFP correspondent reports the targeted vehicle was destroyed and debris scattered nearby, and said authorities had cordoned off the area.

Hezbollah did not immediately comment on the strike, but announced it had carried out attacks on Israeli positions on Friday.
