Arab sources reported that a senior Hezbollah official was eliminated in the strike, a claim which was denied by Israeli security officials, according to Israeli media on Friday morning.
At least 14 people were wounded in a strike attributed to Israel on Thursday night in the village of Jennata in southern Lebanon's Tyre District, Arab media sources reported.
Saudi news sources Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath, along with Lebanese sources, reported that a senior Hezbollah official was eliminated in the strike, a claim which was denied by Israeli security officials, according to Israeli media on Friday morning.
Al-Hadath reported that those wounded were evacuated to nearby hospitals and that the injured were in buildings adjacent to the building that was targeted.
The official was killed in a southern command base of the terrorist organization, Maariv reported, citing Lebanese sources. The two-story building collapsed and was completely destroyed.
Missile was reportedly launched from the sea
It was also reported in Lebanon that the attack was carried out using a missile that was launched from the sea and targeted the building, which caused its complete collapse.
Residents of the village said that there was "enormous destruction" at the scene, according to Maariv. The town is about 20 kilometers from the Israeli border.
This is a developing story.
