Jerusalem:

The Israeli military told AFP on Thursday that its aircraft struck a “Hezbollah commander” in south Lebanon, claiming he was involved in cross-border rocket attacks.

The confirmation came after a Lebanese security source said earlier that a military official of the Iran-backed group was “seriously wounded” in an Israeli air strike on a car in the city of Nabatiyeh.
