Ali Ahmad Hussein of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force ‘eliminated’ by Israeli jets alongside three other fighters.
The Israeli military says it has killed a Hezbollah commander in an overnight air strike in Lebanon, as the United Nations warns that shelling was spreading and urges a halt to the cycle of violence.
Ali Ahmad Hussein of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force was “eliminated” by Israeli jets in the area of as-Sultaniyah in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military said in a statement on Monday, accusing him of attacks against Israeli targets in recent months.
At least three other Hezbollah fighters were also killed in the strike, Al Jazeera has learned.
Meanwhile, dozens of rockets have been launched from Lebanon into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Hezbollah fighters said they were targeting an army base and air defence posts in the area.
