An Israel Air Force (IAF) aircraft killed senior Hezbollah field commander Hussain Ibrahim Mekky in the area of Tyre in southern Lebanon during an overnight operation on Tuesday, the military said on Wednesday morning.
The IDF said Mekky was responsible for planning and carrying out many terror attacks against Israeli territory, civilians, and home since the beginning of the war.
Earlier on Tuesday, Lebanon's state news agency reported that at least two people were killed by an alleged Israeli airstrike targeting a car in southern Lebanon's Tyre.
Two Lebanese security sources told Reuters that a field commander from Lebanon's Hezbollah was one of those killed.
