(BBC News) The Lebanese group Hezbollah says one of its commanders has been killed in a strike in southern Lebanon believed to have been carried out by Israel.
Wissam Tawil was reportedly a member of the group’s elite Radwan Force, and one of the most prominent Hezbollah figures to be killed in the current violence.
Israel’s military did not comment, but it did say it had hit Hezbollah targets in response to cross-border attacks.
The clashes have raised fears of a wider regional conflict.
Hezbollah is an Iran-backed group that wields considerable military and political power in Lebanon. It is designated as a terrorist organization by Israel, the UK, and other western powers.
