A source close to Hezbollah says a local commander within the Iran-backed terror group was killed today in an Israeli airstrike on the country’s south.

“The field commander in charge of the Naqura region has been martyred in an Israeli strike,” the source tells AFP, with the official National News Agency reporting one dead in an Israeli strike on a car in Ain Baal, about 15 kilometers (nine miles) from the border.
