An Israeli drone strike hit a vehicle early on Wednesday morning in the village of Ain Baal, near the southern city of Tyre, killing its occupant and sparking a large fire, according to multiple media reports.
The Israeli army announced in a statement that the target was Hezbollah commander Hussein Nazih. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health later confirmed in a statement that one person was killed in the attack.
The strike is the latest in a string of near-daily Israeli operations targeting individuals and locations linked to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
In the afternoon, another Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in the town of Yater in the Bint Jbeil district, killing one person, and injuring another one, according to the ministry of Health.
Commenting on the incident, the head of the village municipality stated that the victim had been trying to clear the rubble of his own home using a bulldozer when the attack occurred.
