The Saudi Al-Hadath outlet reports that a senior Hezbollah official was killed in an Israeli airstrike near Damascus today.

Al-Hadath names the official as Salman Jumaa, and says he was Hezbollah’s representative in the Syrian army.

The Reuters news agency, citing a security source, also reports that the strike killed Hezbollah’s liaison with the Syrian army.

Syria’s state news agency SANA said the IDF drone strike hit a car on a road leading to Damascus International Airport.

The Israeli military has not commented.
