Senior Hezbollah leader martyred in israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon
A prominent Hezbollah leader, Wissam al-Hassan, was martyred an Israeli airstrike in the town of Khirbet Selm in southern Lebanon, according to an announcement from the Lebanese group.
The circumstances leading to his death were not provided in the initial statement.
Earlier reports from Lebanon's National News Agency indicated that two individuals lost their lives in an Israeli drone strike on a car in the same town.
Tensions between Hezbollah and the zionist regime have escalated since the cross-border attack by Hamas on October 7, marking the deadliest clashes between the two sides since the 2006 war.
The recent martyrdom of senior Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut has further raised concerns about potential escalation.
Al-Arouri was reportedly martyred in an airstrike last week, though the zionist regime has not officially confirmed its involvement in the attack. The region is currently experiencing heightened tensions amid these developments. (ILKHA)
