A source close to Hezbollah says an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs targeted an operative overseeing Palestinian affairs in the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group.

The strike “targeted Hassan Bdair, Hezbollah’s deputy head for the Palestinian file,” who was at home with his family at the time, the source tells AFP, requesting anonymity as they were not authorized to brief the media.

Israel says the target was coordinating attacks against Israeli civilians with Hamas.
